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

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.

With Saturday morning cartoons, you've got to start at 6 A.M., right?

Traditionally, the only way I come up with cartoons is by sitting at my desk and thinking.

In live action movies, you just hope that everything works. Because the actor may had a bad morning and doesn't play good, or accidents happen continuously. Many things contradict what you are trying to say. But in cartoons, nothing contradict what you want to say.

I mean, I guess I started during the comedy boom, so it was literally like, on Sunday you could decide you wanted to be a comic, and on Monday, you could be on stage.

My intended audience was everybody. I just want to make cartoons for human beings.

My cartoons haven't been about the politics of the day or about the personalities; I'm more interested in campaigning about the issues.
