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

If somebody is not on the same page with me humor wise, I can't give them that.

If a restaurant offers crayons, I always take them and color throughout the meal. It beats talking to the people I came to dinner with.

I don't like drawing characters facing right. If I tried to do that at a book signing, I'd have to pencil it first.

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

Brits have a better sense of humor in most ways. It's darker, more cutting.

The writing is done on the computer, and the drawing is done by hand. I write, write, write, then I hit the illustration.
