I'm like a sight gag.

If the gag is complicated, you spend more time thinking about the way you're drawing it.

I'd feel guilty just doing gags.

Sometimes, you start with the drawing and then the gag comes to you in the middle of it. That is when you start working on the solution of the gag, which is composition, placing, equilibrium, and character design.

I apply the three gag rule, which is if I can read a script without gagging more than three times, then maybe I can say yes to this job.

Don't accept the old order. Get rid of it.

Never give an order that can't be obeyed.

I like order. It allows me to have chaos in my head.

There is a lot of rubbish written about toilet humour - people saying it is childish and pretending it is beneath them - but there is no doubting the effectiveness of a really good willy gag.
