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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
Tell me that you don't like cartoons, and I think there's something wrong with you. I don't understand why people don't like cartoons.
A lot of people feel that there is less artistry involved in cartoon making unless they have painstaking control of each frame.
That's the conundrum of cartoon stripping, as opposed to political cartoons. When your anger is the driving force of your drawing hand, failure follows. The anger is OK, but it has to serve the interests of the heart, frankly.
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?
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.
The cartoons which I enjoy have caused some kind of out rage, but they have got people talking about these issues out in the open and in essence that's what its all about.
So cartooning, for me, is an honorable thing. It's pushing the envelope. It's the truth of something through exaggeration.
Kids cannot follow stories. They don't know what the hell is going on in a cartoon. They like to see funny visual things happening.
Each cartoon needs the right amount of wrong.
