I didn't have the time to literally write and draw the strip at the same time.

For me, the very last great strip is 'Peanuts.' After 'Peanuts,' there are a very few strips that I enjoyed for different reasons, but I don't think they were great. I don't think anything's come along since Charles Schulz - and I mean since 1950 - that I think rises above the professional or the eccentric into that realm of greatness.

We're having the first computer-generated comic strip in the United States.

Many, many of my paintings have come from the first chapter of Moby Dick.

People think that whatever I put into strips has happened to me in my life.
