I'm still a farm boy at heart. If I hadn't suffered from asthma as a child, I would be a farmer today.

My dream in life is to write the one gag that makes everyone in the world laugh.

An imagination is a powerful tool. It can tint memories of the past, shade perceptions of the present, or paint a future so vivid that it can entice... or terrify, all depending upon how we conduct ourselves today.

When in doubt, pig out!

I thought if I could create a convincing cat I could say and do anything I wanted on the human condition.

I was very happy and honored to create the Professor Garfield Foundation with Ball State to make reading fun.

Cats are anthropomorphised in art because they are so laid back that you automatically attribute human thoughts and feelings to them.
