There's a lot of great cartoonists working, but I don't see too many people coming along who are of the 'where have you been all my life?' variety.

Believe it or not, the characters are all like people I went to art school with in the '70s.

People seem to need a likable protagonist more than ever.

When people get things for free, they tend to not take them as seriously.

I tend to be the type who is overly polite and sort of ingratiating to other people.

I was a very fearful little kid, and I would always see the worst in everything. The glass was half-empty. I would see people kissing, and I would think one was trying to bite the other.
