   Summary: Interview, in which Morris talks about
   collaborating with Goscinny. He compares Goscinny's writing
   of Lucky Luke to his own, says he hates puns and deletes
   them from Goscinny's scripts, but that Goscinny only puts
   them in to tease him. Morris says that Hergé's Tintin in
   the Land of the Soviets was important to him in choosing
   comics as his career. He speaks briefly of censorship,
   merchandising, animation, stage adaptation, and film
   adaptation of Lucky Luke. La Diligence, he says, is a
   parody of the film Stagecoach. Morris describes his way of
   depicting motion, and a gangster strip called Fred le
   Savant, that he did briefly with Goscinny. Includes two
   photographs of Morris, and a sample page of Fred le Savant.
