The only character I ever remember actually creating in a flash of inspiration was George Liquor. God planted that in my head in an instant.

I find it very hard to sit down and create an idea or especially a new character on command. Usually my characters evolve by accident out of some story context.

If you're a kid wanting to be a cartoonist today, and you're looking at Family Guy, you don't have to aim very high.

Schools are really bad now. Schools are not only bad in reading, writing and arithmetic, they're worse in cultural aspects, like in music and art. They don't teach you anything.

Cartoonists are untrained artists, while illustrators are more trained.

George Liquor is really the richest character I have. I'm amazed there aren't 365 episodes about him on TV already.

I influenced the BG style by not being able to draw perspective. The BG artists developed cool graphic painting styles to make my bad backgrounds look like they were that way on purpose.
