The problem when you're a cartoonist and you go into the voting booth is that you have your choice of two guys - one would be best for your country, and one would be best for your business.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My cartoons haven't been about the politics of the day or about the personalities; I'm more interested in campaigning about the issues.
There are a lot of really great cartoonists out there. It's nice to be thought of as one of them.
Political cartoonists get hung up on daily deadlines and the front page. The worst thing you can do is open up the newspaper and ask, 'What's funny about this?'
You can't exactly bake a man to your specifications. Most of all, one shouldn't alienate a candidate. A hybrid of Einstein, Tarzan and Inge Meysel doesn't exist. Besides, the images of politicians in the media aren't always accurate. I've had my share of experiences in that regard.
I'd love to see more equal representation of female and male cartoonists on the comics page.
You need a certain standard of literacy, moral and ethical values, to be able to run a one man, one vote system.
I don't think there's any independent cartoonist whose stuff I don't like or respect in at least some way or another. We're all marginal laborers - we're practically medical oddities - so I don't see why we can't all be nice to each other.
Politicians come in three varieties: straight men, fixers, and maddies.
I went to vote once, but I got too scared. I couldn't decide whom to vote for.
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.
