“If I like hardcore straight-edge punk music, gentle psychedelic folk music, gangster rap, indie-rock with a lot of guitar pedals, and I find inspiration from all these things in different songs of mine, shouldn't I be allowed to make any of this kind of music that I want? And it's the same for the comic books, why should I only make autobiographical stories? Or only political stories? Or only superhero stories? Or only comedy stories? I am a bit creatively desperate, when I sit with a pen and paper I am desperate for ANY idea that makes me excited, I don't care what kind of idea it is!” IfsWantShouldKindBookIdeasDifferentStoriesInspirationCarePoliticalSongBitsComedyRocksMinesPaperGuitarFolksEdgesDon't CareExcitedRapComicI Don't CareGentleDesperatePensPunkShould IComic BookSuperheroPsychedelicGangstersHardcoreFolk MusicPedalsIndie RockStraight EdgePunk MusicGangster Rap Author:Jeffrey Lewis

“Gummi Bears was actually an adventure comedy. It was great fun, it had this terrific backstory, a show created by Jymn Magon. The candy was the inspiration for starting the show in the first place but the series that was created was really great. We felt that Gummi Bears never got the respect it deserved. I don't take any credit for Gummi Bears. Gummi Bears was up and running by the time I joined Disney. I thought it was a great show.” InspirationRunningFunComedyAdventureReally GreatCandy Author:Greg Weisman
