I'm very harsh on real estate agents. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because of how the call every small house 'charming' and every run-down house a 'great fixer-upper'. Just once, I'd like them to show me a house and declare, 'This one's a piece of crap'.

A stand-up comedian faces the audiences and gets their immediate feedback. I hide behind the comic strip, and unless people write to me, I dont know what they think.

Most poetry just confounds me. I really want to like it, but I can't help thinking it's a hoax. (p. 24)

When I say 'friends,' I use that term loosely, as I don't actually have any.

Basically, I learned to read by reading 'Peanuts,' just wanting to know what they were saying.

You can write a little and can draw a little, but there's necessarily a limitation on both in a comic strip, since it appears in such a tiny space.

We need more cartoonists to truly retire when they retire, and not run repeats.
