Cartoons are like fruit flies. Biologists use fruit flies because their large chromosomes and short life cycle make them ideal for studying hereditary changes.

I don't think there's more than half-a-dozen cartoons that I've been really truly happy with in all the time I've been doing it.

Cartoons are not real drawings, because they are drawings intended to be read.

I used to think of the cartoons as a magazine within a magazine. First you go through and read all the cartoons, and then you go back and read the articles.

I've never stopped loving cartoons. I loved cartoons as a kid. I can still look at them and enjoy them.

At that time, the people that were in the animated film business were mostly guys who were unsuccessful newspaper cartoonists. In other words, their ability to draw living things was practically nil.

I was very lucky all three newspapers approached me and asked me to draw their cartoons for them.

Around 2000, I was working on cartoons like 'PB&J Otter' and 'Doug.'

I don't think of cartoons or comics as being for kids.

In 'Futurama,' the skin color is no longer yellow. They have actually evolved to cartoon skin tone. But they still have four fingers.
