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

Sometimes you're noodling around with a sketch and something incongruous in the drawing calls forth the caption and other times you think of a line and just have to find a place for it. A cartoon with a caption like "I don't want to live forever, but I sure as hell don't want to be dead forever either" sprang into my head and I just had to find the right venue for it which was an old couple talking to each other.

The digital realm give cartoons and cartoonists more possibilities for exposure.

There are no cartoons about happy marriages.

There's usually nothing in a guy's joke in which we have to understand what's going on in someone else's mind.

Each cartoon needs the right amount of wrong.

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