I like to feel that what I'm doing portrays this: a family where there is love between mother, father and the kids. It's a subject that is near and dear to me.

OF COURSE I'd like to be the ideal mother. But I'm too busy raising children.

I don't just try to be funny.

I think it's a novelty for cartoon characters to cross over into another strip or panel occasionally.

Mommy would never divorce Daddy. He's just like one of the family.

Many of my cartoons are not a belly laugh. I go for nostalgia, the lump in the throat, the tear in the eye, the tug in the heart.

Goal begins with "GO."
