Doonesbury had the requisite and overwhelming influence in 1980, as it did on any college cartoonist who was paying attention, of course.

The cartooning was always just an abstraction. It was an income. It was making me famous. It was allowing me to go and do other things that I'd wanted to do.

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

I will go to my grave in a state of abject endless fascination that we all have the capacity to become emotionally involved with a personality that doesn't exist.

'Harry Potter' shouldn't be children's first experience with suspense and plot turns.

I'd be a Libertarian, if they weren't all a bunch of tax-dodging professional whiners.

If nothing is serious anymore, then there's nothing to satirize.
