It's gratifying to hear that from people who care about comic art. I never know what to make of it when someone writes to say, "Calvin and Hobbes is the best strip in the paper. I like it even more than Nancy."

What's the point of wearing your favorite rocket ship underpants if nobody ever asks to see 'em?

In a comic strip, you can suggest motion and time, but it's very crude compared to what an animator can do. I have a real awe for good animation.

Tomorrow we'll not only seize the day, we'll throttle it.

I've always been a huge fan of fantasy and adventure, putting yourself in someone else's shoes, I'm sure that's why I'm an actor. It's why I played with action figures as a kid, that's why I wrote and drew and read comics as a kid.

I find my life is a lot easier the lower I keep everyone's expectations.

If you can't win by reason, go for volume.
