Even people that I agree with can do something that would be a target for a bit of humor.
From Jonathan Shapiro
Mandela once phoned me out of the blue while he was still president, and at first he played with me a bit.
I would think a sense of the absurd is more important for a political cartoonist, because that could define things like a sense of hypocrisy or a sense of the things one has to be skeptical about.
I see the cartoonist as contributing to the content, being critical, because we do poke holes in some of the dialogue and find new ways of seeing things.
There was a teacher who recognized that I was interested in cartooning and he was great.
I eventually saw the satirical nature of caricaturing individuals.
The cartoons which I enjoy have caused some kind of out rage, but they have got people talking about these issues out in the open and in essence that's what its all about.
I normally keep a series of draft in a catalogue type of book in which I scribble, sketch and draw ideas.
Gee, I am a complete Luddite when it comes to computers, I can barely log on!
I think the eyes are very revealing and can expose a lot about a persons mood or character.
