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.

I started doing cartoons when I was about 21. I never thought I would be a cartoonist. It happened behind my back. I was always a painter and drawer.

I realized that people make cartoons for a living. It had never dawned on me that you could do this as a career.

I was always into cartoons and animation.

I wrote my master's thesis on cartoons!

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.

I used to teach animation history classes at the University of Texas, and I wrote my master's thesis on cartoons. I just love cartoons.

I knew I wanted to be some kind of artist from about 12. I met a neighbour who drew cartoons, and I had an idea I wanted to be a cartoonist - or something that involved Indian ink, at any rate.

I've always defined myself not as a cartoonist, but as an entrepreneur. That was true before I tried cartooning. I always imagined cartooning would be how I got my seed capital. I always thought my other businesses would be the less dominant part of my life.

Cartoons have always been an enjoyment to me... a relaxation... I get my ideas from everyday events.
