So many cartoonists draw the same year after year. When they find a style, they stick with it. They don't mess with innovation, and they become boring.

I've always looked upon politics as a very boring thing. Politics never interested me as much as the people involved in it.

There has always been quite a strong black and white art tradition in Australia, with quite a large contingent of cartoonists, given the size of the population.

Journalism was looked upon as a more noble thing than it is now. I don't know if it carries the same cachet that it did then.

If it were not for the fact that editors have become so timorous in these politically correct times, I would probably have a greater readership than I have.

One-newspaper towns are not good because all the surviving newspaper does is print money. They make 25 percent on their money every year, and if they go down to 22 percent, they start laying people off.
