Childhood - that was not my favorite time in my life.

I had the impression in art school that cartooning was thought of as a lesser art than painting because cartoons are reproduced, so the "work" is not the single thing like a painting, but instead is the reproduced image.

A friend of mine gave me a very good piece of advice, which is if you don't think your kids are going to want it, don't take it.

Even under the best of circumstances - in twenty-first century America at least - caring for elderly parents ain't no place for sissies.

Grime is not like messiness or some fingerprints on a cabinet; it takes a long time to accumulate.

I just really love the cartoon form. I love the plasticity of it.

I noticed that I used to go to second hand shops and flea markets and find funny, cute things, but now I go into those stores, and I think, This is dead people's stuff. This is all, like, somebody cleaned out their parents' house, and I don't want any of it. If I didn't want it from my parents, I don't want it from your parents.
