I had a messy signature as a child, and my grandmother said this suggested I had no regard for other people. She was right.

Cartooning is an artistic commitment that requires the full attention and passion of the artist on every level; one should not get into it if one expects to do anything more than produce a book or a story that is exactly as one wants it to be.

One of the things that appealed to me most about comics was that you can pick the ones you like and build your own personal pantheon.

I can definitely say that of all my friends who I consider to be really great cartoonists, we're all trying to aim at basically the same thing, which is an ever closer representation of what it feels like to be alive.

Lately, I cant shake the feeling that Ive been living a dream for the last 10 years or so; I cant account for most of my 20s, and I have to continually remind myself that certain people are dead now and many of my friends have children.

Cartoons are not real drawings, because they are drawings intended to be read.
