00:00I've had a lot of time to think and I made the decision I'm not going to go back to school after winter break.
00:05What?
00:10Obviously you need to hear this. You're already at a professional level of drawing for what you want to do.
00:16Everything in your portfolio needs to be very clearly coming from who you are.
00:24All my heroes didn't go to college.
00:26Do you know what you get with the GED? You know what kind of job you would get?
00:28What?
00:29A gas station.
00:31I'd love to work in a gas station.
00:33I'm looking at a place in Trenton later.
00:35Woah, Trenton?
00:37Um, where would I be staying?
00:39Uh, Stephen's room.
00:43Hi there.
00:45Hey.
00:50Uh, Robert, meet our friend Wallace.
00:52So, it says here you work for a company called Image.
00:57What, Image Comics?
01:01I wasn't an artist.
01:03Nobody get all excited.
01:05What would it take for a drawing lesson, honestly?
01:07You consider yourself a cartoonist, right? I pay you.
01:09How much?
01:13This is really crazy for me.
01:15I've just never met a professional cartoonist before.
01:17That's a big deal.
01:19I know.
01:21You need to be harder on yourself, Miles.
01:23If you want to get someplace, you gotta be harder on yourself.
01:25Ring a bell?
01:29Oh, you're working for Cheryl, right?
01:31Yeah, sometimes.
01:33You think she's good looking?
01:35Um, I'm just gonna be a minute.
01:39Oh my god!
01:41Okay, you are truly delicious.
01:47Who's that?
01:49That's my friend Wallace. I forgot to tell you I invited him.
01:51Damn it.
01:53I don't know you or what you're capable of.
01:55What's going on in there?
01:57Rubber, open your door!
01:59He's a horrible man.
02:01What happens if you come out ruined?
02:03Which is what's gonna happen.
02:05Oh my god!
02:07It's meant to be fun.
02:09That's why they call them the funnies.
02:11They don't call them the funnies for no reason.
02:13Just face up to the fact
02:15that you failed.
02:17Yeah, but he failed with soul.
02:19Okay.
