If you're going to draw a comic strip every day, you're going to have to draw on every experience in your life.

I never storyboard. I hate it. I don't understand why so many directors want to make comic strips of their films.

I guess that compared to other comic strips, I'm edgy. But put me along something like 'South Park,' and I'm 'Captain Kangaroo.'

With many comic strips, knowing when to quit isn't a problem: The syndicate editors simply cancel a feature that is losing papers.

I think in daily newspapers, the way comic strips are treated, it's as if newspaper publishers are going out of their way to kill the medium.

I think the corporate world is pretty starved for personality. The reason you have comic strips like 'Dilbert' and sitcoms like 'The Office' is that people just can't be genuine human beings in a corporate environment.
