This is an excerpt off his interview @ Comics Interview #46
CBA: What was High Anxiety [misnaming High Energy]?
Arthur: [laughs frenzied and nervously] That never happened! There is no High Anxiety! [laughs] It's an old Mel Brooks movie! [laughter] Honestly, I met some guy-can't even remember his name now, it's been so long-at a convention, and he was putting together a comic book magazine, and he saw some of my stuff and asked me to put something together, and I put together something I hope will never, ever see print! Ever! [laughter] It was pretty bad.
CBA: What was it?
Arthur: I can't remember it that well, it was just not good. [laughs]
CBA: Was it super-heroes, science-fiction...?
Arthur: [sobbing] It was horror, as I recall... please stop. I'll give you money.
CBA: [laughs, after accepting a large sum of cash] Thanks. We'll move on, now! Was that your first published work?
Arthur: That might've been the first, but the first piece I was ever definitely paid for, was a pin-up in the back of Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew
