On Career Day in high school, you don't walk around looking for the cartoon guy.

The best thing about being a cartoonist is to walk into a bar or someone's apartment and they don't know you, but they've taped one of your pieces up.

People often ask me about my upbringing, and if there was anything particular about it that made me become a cartoonist.

I wanted to be a cartoonist when I was young.

I've never really thought about competing with cartoons. If it ever gets to that point, then just shoot me.

Making cartoons means very hard work at every step of the way, but creating a successful cartoon character is the hardest work of all.

I can definitely say that of all my friends who I consider to be really great cartoonists, we're all trying to aim at basically the same thing, which is an ever closer representation of what it feels like to be alive.

There are a lot of really great cartoonists out there. It's nice to be thought of as one of them.

On radio and television, magazines and the movies, you can't tell what you're going to get. When you look at the comic page, you can usually depend on something acceptable by the entire family.
