I don't think I would've ever dared dreaming of becoming a professional cartoonist. I wouldn't set myself up for that disappointment.

I wanted to get paid to sharpen pencils originally just because I thought it would be fun.

The type of pop culture that is honestly very moving and powerful to me is [when artists] do their homework. They make it real.

The time that I would spend revisiting my old Get Your War On strips is more profitably spent Googling myself and reading comments about how people hate my pencil-sharpening business.

I don't want to be one of these people who's like, "Man, I don't know where my ideas come from and I don't know why this works."

I have a really analytical approach to art. And the whole idea that you can't analyze what makes a joke funny...I do not agree with that at all.

I've never been good at self-promotion. And my URL is really obscure. And for years and years, there was nothing about me on my website.
