I drew a vicious cartoon of an Islamic extremist as a dog, knowing full well what an insult that was is in the Islamic world. Furthermore, I added an apology to dogs everywhere (being a dog lover myself).

For a young cartoonist, they have to get going on the web, because that's where everybody goes for their information. And it really works. If you look at a cartoon on a computer screen, it really jumps and can be quite effective. I draw cartoons now, not how it will appear in the newspaper, but how it will appear on the screen. I think most of us do. Now the challenge is to make it move and animate it in a very fast, quick way.

Many cartoons I've drawn have been controversial, perhaps a little before their time, certainly when I was getting started.

Despite that sort of reputation that Canada has of being a boring place, we really have produced really interesting politicians.

I think any good cartoon sums things up for people. It's kind of ironic we appear on the editorial pages of newspapers, but now of course we're transferring over to the net, and that gets a lot more attention.

A good cartoon, what it does, is sum up a situation, very neatly, as opposed to reading a lot of articles and so on.
