Even if you're drawing a cartoon and exaggerating, you want to capture something true about the person.

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.

Editorial cartoons are about concept. The illustration is merely a vehicle to convey a point of view. We're here to protect and inform the public, to attack and repel those who do not agree with our long-term shared interest.

The wonderful thing about the cartoon form is it's a combination of words and pictures. You don't have to choose, and the contribution of the two often winds up being greater than the sum of its parts.

Cartooning is about deconstruction: you gotta tear something down to make a joke.

Each cartoon needs the right amount of wrong.

Cartooning was a good fit for me. And yet now, years later, I almost never think about it.

I'm skeptical of the 'go local' approach to cartooning to preserve your job.

With a standard editorial cartoon, you're taking tons of information and synthesizing it down to a single bite - a single moment in time. With animated editorial cartoons, it's more storytelling.

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.
