I think some days you should do a cartoon that is absolutely just for the laugh, and some days you should do a cartoon that just punches the reader right in the stomach. It's kind of nice to mix it up.

I don't have to come up with a ha-ha belly laugh every day, but drawings with warmth and love or ones that put a lump in the throat. That's more important to me than a laugh.

Originally, with all the shows, we went looking for belly laughs.

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

I've never stopped loving cartoons. I loved cartoons as a kid. I can still look at them and enjoy them.

I think funny is just the foundation. I don't really think, to some extent, funny is the absolute most important thing. It should also communicate some idea through the medium of cartooning. Just to be funny is... You know what, the things that you laugh hardest at aren't cartoons.

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.

I have always liked shows that have laughter in them.

It's not really a guilty pleasure, but I love old cartoons. I could watch Bugs Bunny and Tweety all day long.

If my mother hadn't laughed at the funny things I did, I probably wouldn't be a comic actor. After she had her first heart attack, the doctor said, 'Try to make her laugh.' And that was the first time I tried to make anyone laugh.
