You do have to put in a lot time to get good at anything and than includes cartoons. So I think it's true of art and everything else.

I know everybody wants humor to be subversive and speak truth to power. I don't think power's been listening, incidentally.

It's not the ink, it's the think.

If you have any problems at all, don't hesitate to shut up.

Cartoons, often, that you do for the New Yorker don't appear for months afterwards, and the record for that is a cartoon that was bought by James Stevenson in 1987 and didn't appear until 2000.

We have to know cognitively what another mind is thinking and also empathically what they're feeling. And of course, in general, that's always the case, but it's often very generic. Like with Leo Cullum's doctor, it's just the fact that people in general are cruel and insensitive. But in the Barbara Smaller cartoon, we understand it's this particular person or this specific sub-class of person and her particular needs and desires, and that's different than a pun cartoon in which it's just semantic.

I have been married three times and it just keeps better and better, but I'm going to stop here.
