"I hate Clifford the Big Red Dog. I hate him. There’s fifty books about Clifford the Big Red Dog. Fifty books. There’s seven books about Narnia, that cover the birth and death of a nation, and mice with swords, and a lion who’s a god. They did it in seven books. Fifty books about Clifford the Big Red Dog. And they all tell the exact same story: look how big this dog is. That’s the whole book. Here’s how big he was at the firehouse! Here’s how big he was at Thanksgiving! Who gives a shit? You just drew him big! You just, on purpose, made him bigger than people. It should be look how big I drew the dog in this book, isn’t that a mistake. There’s no story! You maybe just drew him closer to the page, I don’t even know if you did it honestly."
