It is not true that nice guys finish last. Nice guys are winners before the game even starts.

Life is like a game of chess...there are many moves possible, but each move determines your next move...where you wind up is the sum total of all your past moves...but first you have to make some kind of move.

You taught me to be nice, so nice that now I am so full of niceness, I have no sense of right and wrong, no outrage, no passion.

You learn just by trying and experimenting. By the time I was 14, I had my own comic strip in the Kansas City paper.

Seven days without laughter makes one weak.

When I draw, I rule the world.

At one time Tribune Syndicate emptied out their storeroom. They put tables full of original cartoons down in the lobby and said take one if you want one. The comics were simply a burden to them.
