The thing that makes me happiest about Simpsons Illustrated are all the drawings that we get from readers. I wish we could print them all. They're really imaginative. They show a lot of hard work.

Everybody doesn't have to get every joke. People really appreciate not being condescended to.

If God didn't want us to eat cows, why are they made out of meat?

No matter how good you are at something, there's always about a million people better than you.

I plead alignment to the flakes of the untitled snakes of a merry cow and to the republicrats for which they scam: one nacho, underpants with licorice and jugs of wine for owls.

Because good writing in a TV cartoon is so rare, I think the animation on The Simpsons is often overlooked.

I would prefer to listen to a French classical composer like Olivier Messiaen than to the pop hits of the day.
