I don't think there's more than half-a-dozen cartoons that I've been really truly happy with in all the time I've been doing it.

One-newspaper towns are not good because all the surviving newspaper does is print money. They make 25 percent on their money every year, and if they go down to 22 percent, they start laying people off.

An outsider's point of view is always handy.

Correct me if I'm wrong - the gizmo is connected to the flingflang connected to the watzis, watzis connected to the doo-dad connected to the ding dong.

I've always looked upon politics as a very boring thing. Politics never interested me as much as the people involved in it.

So many cartoonists draw the same year after year. When they find a style, they stick with it. They don't mess with innovation, and they become boring.

I hate changes of administrations, because I have all my villains in place and they are all taken away and replaced with faceless wonders nobody knows.
