Patton Oswalt Could Write Comic Books All Day | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

now I I want to end up in this nice. place which is to say something. you know this work you've done minor. threats which is in bookstores and it's. it's it's available Nationwide yeah like. you have I know that you have these. passions for for comics and you get to. do that you get to be in that world you. get to make this stuff that you used to. stand in line hoping to meet someone. like you well I used to I stood in line.

for three hours to meet Neil Gaiman back. in 1993 in San Francisco to get my. season of Mists hardcover signed and now. I'm Matthew The Raven in the Sandman. Show on Netflix that's insane so that. kind of I I always um I remember this. quote from John John Waters is a great. person to pattern your life after. because he's like I work hard at my. stuff so that I don't have to work with. people I don't want to work with and I. can just do the stuff that I like and it. also gives me because a lot of the stuff. that I like to do is not going to make. me any money it's not gonna increase my.

fame but it's really interesting so. doing minor threats no writing Comics. does not make you a lot of money but. it's a blast it's so fun to do you write. the script then you get the rough. pencils then you get the inks and then. you get that I mean the whole process to. me I could do it all day and so I'm. lucky enough that I worked hard enough. as a stand-up and I go and do movies and. I can go do comics in the comics that I. put out now I go with companies like. Dark Horse and and where it's all.

Creator owned I own it if something. happens with it it's mine I'm not having. to worry about well this company needs. these things and these things and you. know I have to do stuff. I don't want to do a one for me one for. them within a project I'm doing I'm okay. doing a one for me one for them overall. but to split up your own project doing. that that's that drives me that would. drive me crazy yeah like I have this. great story to tell okay but you got to. put where the the Shazam movie's coming.

out you got to put Shazam in there oh. you know so that I never had to do that. right you don't have to compromise also. I'm just happy that I'm not a car guy. I'm not a clothing guy I don't care. about to me a car I don't see the. outside of it as long as it gets me. where I'm going I could care less what. it is so all that money I don't put any. money into that I don't own a house that. uh um George Carlin says I don't own a. house that I I use to scare people with. I love that phrase. nice little house I can live in it's I'm.

there's no crazy nut I just keep it very. small and very simple and then you get. to just enjoy everything you like that's. all you got to do I don't have to go. hang out with people I don't want to. hang out with you it's all people I love. occasionally you have to do like a like. a podcast to like sell the comic and. that's a slog but otherwise it's uh hang. out with two you don't want to. see what I'm saying hey Patton uh I. could talk to you for 35 hours I could I. could honestly talk to you and uh way.

too long it is a uh just it's just a. happening when you're here it means a. lot to me remember you came I was I. can't I'm sorry that I'm saying this we. were in the Soho House yeah and you came. up you were bringing your uh wife and. daughter to breakfast and I and I had. brought my daughter there because he had. a kids activity today but I was up at. the bar at the Soho house and I was. reading the second volume of the Lyndon.
