« [Charlie Co. was motivated by] anti-war sentiment. I was on my own and I wanted to make a cheap little film because that's all I could afford. I could've done anything but I wanted to make some kind of statement. I didn't want to be quite so self-indulgent and somehow I liked the idea of one continuous track shot. So I decided to do that and ended up with the gimmick of the soldiers walking up Uncle Sam's ass. I don't know if anybody read that. That was sort of a personal joke. And then I had the idea of a civilian army and I just started drawing characters. The characters were all from my stock of sexualsadistic characters. I just drew them and that's how they came out. »
