The digital world has allowed me a connection with my reader that I'd never had before. I didn't meet the people who read my material. The fan letters were mostly answered by professional people that'd done them for a living. And I didn't have any daily connection with their response to my work. I didn't have a relationship with my audience. And every artist should have it.

It's not terribly dignified to have anyone seeing one laugh at one's own material.

I don't get fan mail. It disappeared with the digital revolution.

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

It's never too late to have a happy childhood.

I paint digitally now. A pity, in some ways, as the biggest price one pays is that you no longer have a finished piece of physical art to hang on a wall. I miss that terribly.

My kids hear me behind my door, giggling like an idiot, and they roll their eyes at the blatant indignity of it all.
