So cartooning, for me, is an honorable thing. It's pushing the envelope. It's the truth of something through exaggeration.

People go into cartooning because they're shy and they're angry. That's when you're sitting in the back of a classroom drawing the teacher.

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.

The cartoon is a metaphor really for the fact that it's almost impossible in our celebrity obsessed culture to move around genres and sort of change you ideas, change your face, you know?

Making cartoons means very hard work at every step of the way, but creating a successful cartoon character is the hardest work of all.

Cartoon violence is something very vivid and dark but made palatable for children in a fun way. That's the kind of comedy I do - I try to take subjects that might seem deep and make them as silly as possible.

It's fun to take two topics and mix them into one cartoon.

Cartoons are like fruit flies. Biologists use fruit flies because their large chromosomes and short life cycle make them ideal for studying hereditary changes.

Cartoons are not real drawings, because they are drawings intended to be read.

No one blames themselves if they don't understand a cartoon, as they might with a painting or 'real' art; they simply think it's a bad cartoon.
