It's easy being a humorist when you've got the whole government working for you.

I'm a classic example of all humorists - only funny when I'm working.

Being a humorist is not a voluntary thing. You can tell this because in a situation where saying a funny thing will cause a lot of trouble, a humorist will still say the funny thing. No matter how inappropriate.

There's plenty of room for humor in politics, God knows, but it's a serious business.

All comedians are, in a way, anarchists. Our job is to make fun of the existing world.

A humorist is a person who feels bad, but who feels good about it.

If you don't have humor, you're not going to make it. You're going to be one of those people who walks around with your head about to explode.

I'm not a political comedian. That's just not what I do.

Mixing humor and politics is something that works.

I thought that through the strip, I could vent my spleen and be funny at the same time. But when it comes to humor, there's no substitute for reality and politicians.
