I vaguely remember a documentary about how miserable it made Radiohead to be exposed to people who were publicizing OK Computer.

NEW ADVICE-FROM-LIEBER LIST! I've posted these tips as a thread before, but I figured it's about time I made it available as a single, shareable image.

MISTAKES I'VE MADE THAT YOU CAN AVOID
Don't be like me.
1. Don't trash your own work when complemented. In that context your self-deprecation is insulting someone else's taste! Just say thanks and change the subject. Maybe credit an influence?
2. As far as your readers are concerned, comics are drawn with a printing press or a monitor. Don't fetishize the original art or the tools you make it. Anything that gets the story told the way it needs to be told is the right tool for the job.
3. Don't use one job to audition for another. It's unfair to your collaborators and a betrayal of the reader to get flashy or sexy or explosive if the moment in the story doesn't call for it.
4. The important storytelling choices on a page can be worked out in thumbnails. Gesture, camera angle, framing, broad arrangement of tones-get this stuff right before you worry about anatomy, lighting, drapery, or facial expressions.
5. Some artists can put down a final inkline with no underdrawing, but that's because they're skilled and experienced enough to do all that underdrawing in their head. You probably aren't. Get your underdrawing right and save the masterstrokes for the masters.
6. What you're feeling while you work doesn't matter. What the audience feels when they read it does. You can be happy and still do a great drawing of someone in agony. You should understand what you're depicting. It's not necessary to experience it in real time at the board.
7. Get a fresh eye on your work. You never know when some accidental juxtaposition is going to completely change your intended meaning.
8. Don't let getting things 100% right keep you from getting things done. It's easy to get bogged down in research or prep sketches. Make a schedule at the start of a project so you know how much time you have. Do the best you can with the time allotted and move on. But...

1948

One-shot Wonder Woman villain Dr. Frenzi addresses a rally, saying, "It is time to give America back to Americans! Don't let foreigners take your jobs!" His assistant, Josie, passes a collection box through the crowd. "Tonight the GREEN SHIRTS ride again to purify America," he threatens. After the crowd disperses, Dr. Frenzi hugs the collection box and tells Josie, "America is the land of opportunity and this is MY opportunity to make a FORTUNE!" Sensation Comics #81, 1948, "When Treachery Wore a Green Shirt!" Joye Hummel, writer, H. G. Peter, artist.

I laid eyes on Kanigher a few times, but I don't think we were introduced. I'd have a lot more questions for him now than I would have back then.
