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.

Because good writing in a TV cartoon is so rare, I think the animation on The Simpsons is often overlooked.

Suddenly, I was reading these comics. I was looking at those bubbles, those dialogue bubbles, and suddenly there were words... recognizable words.

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.

Tell me that you don't like cartoons, and I think there's something wrong with you. I don't understand why people don't like cartoons.

I was a really big fan of cartoons growing up, and I loved to read too much into them most of the time.

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

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

Animated editorial cartoons are completely different from static editorial cartoons.
