People go into cartooning because they're shy and they're angry. That's when you're sitting in the back of a classroom drawing the teacher.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
No one blames themselves if they don't understand a cartoon, as they might with a painting or 'real' art; they simply think it's a bad cartoon.
That's the conundrum of cartoon stripping, as opposed to political cartoons. When your anger is the driving force of your drawing hand, failure follows. The anger is OK, but it has to serve the interests of the heart, frankly.
There was a teacher who recognized that I was interested in cartooning and he was great.
You know, comics were created at the same time as the cinema. And the cinema very quickly became a major art. Cartooning didn't become a major art. There's a reason for that. People don't know how to deal with drawings.
Traditionally, the only way I come up with cartoons is by sitting at my desk and thinking.
Cartooning is for people who can't quite draw and can't quite write. You combine the two half-talents and come up with a career.
Cartooning at its best is a fine art. I'm a cartoonist who works in the medium of animation, which also allows me to paint my cartoons.
Kids cannot follow stories. They don't know what the hell is going on in a cartoon. They like to see funny visual things happening.
Cartooning is about deconstruction: you gotta tear something down to make a joke.
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.
