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.

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

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

I like being able to go grocery shopping and not feel that Im fighting a thousand people.

I always imagined my little cartoons on plates for some reason.

My parents were extremely reluctant. When my father was clearly dying, my mother refused to acknowledge it.
