Student cartoonists as well as professionals should always be careful that they're not doing a cartoon that already has been done.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There was a teacher who recognized that I was interested in cartooning and he was great.
Well, there are better cartoonists now than there ever have been. I firmly believe that. There's some amazing work being done.
In academia in general, there's this push toward using comics as an educational tool.
There are a lot of really great cartoonists out there. It's nice to be thought of as one of them.
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 realized that people make cartoons for a living. It had never dawned on me that you could do this as a career.
You know, comics were created at the same time as the cinema. And the cinema very quickly became a major art. Cartooning didn't become a major art. There's a reason for that. People don't know how to deal with drawings.
I'm skeptical of the 'go local' approach to cartooning to preserve your job.
The best thing about being a cartoonist is to walk into a bar or someone's apartment and they don't know you, but they've taped one of your pieces up.
I don't think of cartoons or comics as being for kids.
