I don't think there's any independent cartoonist whose stuff I don't like or respect in at least some way or another. We're all marginal laborers - we're practically medical oddities - so I don't see why we can't all be nice to each other. ↗

No one blames themselves if they don't understand a cartoon, as they might with a painting or "real" art; they simply think it's a bad cartoon. ↗

Well, there are better cartoonists now than there ever have been. I firmly believe that. There's some amazing work being done. ↗

Because good writing in a TV cartoon is so rare, I think the animation on The Simpsons is often overlooked. ↗

Cartooning is for people who can't quite draw and can't quite write. You combine the two half-talents and come up with a career. ↗

I've learned to look like I'm listening to long confusing plots of cartoons and comic books when I'm actually sound asleep or making grocery shopping lists in my head. ↗
