I chose to tell the story visually, so that anyone of any age, from any country, could understand it.

I guess I just don't have the killer instinct that I think makes a great political cartoonist.

I hate to think that all my current experiences will someday become stories with no point.

I can never enjoy Sundays, because in the back of my mind I always know I've got to go to school the next day. It's like trying to enjoy your last meal before the execution.

In a culture that relentlessly promotes avarice and excess as the good life, a person happy doing his own work is usually considered an eccentric, if not a subversive.

God put me on this earth to accomplish a certain number of things. Right now I am so far behind that I will never die.

I think the experience forced me to consider how interested I was in political cartooning. After I was fired, I applied to other papers but political cartooning, like all cartooning, is a very tough field to break into. Newspapers are very reluctant to hire their own cartoonists when they can get Oliphant or MacNelly through syndication for a twentieth of the price.
