“I’ve always believed very whole-heartedly that writing about my family was a very productive and useful thing to do, that ethical obstacles could be overlooked. I’m starting to re-think that. I probably won’t change my ways, but I am thinking about that in new ways.”
Comics sales were boosted in the latter half of 2011 by DC Comics' September relaunch, with the year's top-selling issue Justice League #1 shifting more than 361,138 copies.
"Entertaining it may be but certainly not memorable.
" ... I was hoping to get into the psyche of this talented cartoonist – like what makes him tick, the secret of his success, etc. I wanted to know something new about Lat but that did not happen."
“Drawing is generally like digging a ditch. I basically know how far I’ll get each day.”
"It was a welcome reminder that drawing comics could actually be fun. Not just an arduous slog towards a very distant goal.”

Sister Mary Dracula Halloween Treat, No Trick!
For the month of October, you can read "Sister Mary Dracula", the graphic novel by Gerry Mooney, online at www.sistermarydracula.com.
The 103-page story, in the works for 4-1/2 years and completed this summer, tells the tale of Terry Malloy, a ten-year-old at St. Egregius the Stricter Catholic School, who is convinced that his teacher is a vampire. Even his best friends think he's crazy.
Sister Mary Dracula began as a Flash animation created in 2000. It gained a following online and was selected to be shown at the San Diego Comic Con's Independent Film Festival in 2004. The animation can still be seen on the Sister Mary Dracula website.
Gerry Mooney has been drawing funny for most of his life, doing humorous illustration in the New York market for 20 years for such clients as Forbes, Parents Magazine, American Express, The Daily News, Newsweek, Mad and lots more, including a dozen covers for The New Republic.
His humorous feature "Mooney's Modules" (www.mooneysmodules.com) appeared in Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine for three years and spawned the now-legendary Gravity Poster (www.thegravityposter.com) which has sold over 4,000 copies and has been cited in Scientific American.
Lately Gerry has moved into animation and is developing independent projects as well as being involved currently in two online animation jams, one of which is Bill Plympton's "Guard Dog" animation jam, a project that includes 70 animators from all over the world, each one animating a single shot from the five minute short.
"created a character who swills scotch, poisons her classmates and sets houses on fire.In TheStar.com, Chantal Braganza writes about it in ‘Nasty Lulu' Yves Saint Laurent's little-known creation."Her name is Lulu.
"Did I mention she's still in grade school?"
"'It is weird,” says the Bloomsbury-based artist. 'I used real life and turned it into 2-D drawings. Stephen Frears has taken 2-D drawings and made them into 3-D people. The metamorphosis is odd to watch, but he is very, very faithful to the book.'"
