Im pretty adept with computers and Photoshop for my blog, and I found my style with a conversational voice and an image-ready column.

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'm making fun of myself and I think I'm making fun of all men in our desperate, desperate attempt to understand the people we're with and hopefully through humor have them understand us.

Humor of all types is notoriously subjective. That's true not only between different people but even within an individual at different times. This subjectivity is often masked when your in a group because laughter is contagious.

I do find that humor helps in relationships. It certainly helps in my marriage now because I'm a very, very fallible person. And if I wasn't funny I'd be kicked right out the door.

A lot of what the Internet is showing is that talent is more disperse than gatekeepers such as myself...

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.
