Rainy days should be spent at home with a cup of tea and a good book Picture Quote #1

You mix a bunch of ingredients, and once in a great while, chemistry happens Picture Quote #1

I think we dream so we don't have to be apart so long. If we're in each other's dreams, we can play together all night Picture Quote #1

Shutting off the thought process is not rejuvenating; the mind is like a car battery - it recharges by running Picture Quote #1

So, what's it like in the real world? Well, the food is better, but beyond that, I don't recommend it Picture Quote #1

That's the whole problem with science. You've got a bunch of empiricists trying to describe things of unimaginable wonder Picture Quote #1

The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us Picture Quote #1

If people looked at the stars each night, they’d live a lot differently. When you look into infinity, you realize that there are more important things than what people do all day Picture Quote #1

Amazingly, much of the best cartoon work was done early on in the medium’s history. The early cartoonists, with no path before them, produced work of such sophistication, wit, and beauty that it increasingly seems to me that cartoon evolution is working backward. Comic strips are moving toward a primordial goo rather than away from it... Not only can comics be more than we’re getting today. but the comics already have been more than we’re getting today Picture Quote #1

If you have the personalities down, you understand them and identify with them; you can stick them in any situation and have a pretty good idea of how they’re going to respond. Then it’s just a matter of sanding and polishing up the jokes. But if you’ve got more ambiguous characters or stock stereotypes, the plastic comes through and they don’t work as well. These two characters clicked for me almost immediately and I feel very comfortable working with them Picture Quote #1

Some people are pragmatists, taking things as they come and making the best of the choices available. Some people are idealists, standing for principle and refusing to compromise. And some people just act on any whim that enters their heads. I pragmatically turn my whims into principles Picture Quote #1

I know the world isn’t fair, but why isn’t it ever unfair in my favor? Picture Quote #1

I find my life is a lot easier the lower I keep everyone’s expectations Picture Quote #1

I thought my life would seem more interesting with a musical score and a laugh track Picture Quote #1

If you can’t control your peanut butter, you can’t expect to control your life Picture Quote #1

It’s surprising how hard we’ll work when the work is done just for ourselves Picture Quote #1

Often it takes some calamity to make us live in the present. Then suddenly we wake up and see all the mistakes we have made Picture Quote #1

Sometimes when I’m talking, my words can’t keep up with my thoughts. I wonder why we think faster than we speak. Probably so we can think twice Picture Quote #1

The purpose of writing is to inflate weak ideas, obscure pure reasoning, and inhibit clarity. With a little practice, writing can be an intimidating and impenetrable fog! Picture Quote #1

I guess I have a gift for expressing pedestrian tastes. In a way, it’s kind of depressing Picture Quote #1

I enjoy the drawing more than the writing, so I try to think of ideas that will allow me to develop the visual side of the strip as fully as possible Picture Quote #1

If you’re a painter, it’s simply taken for granted that you’ll spend a lot of time in museums studying great paintings, but if you’re a cartoonist, it used to be very hard to see an original cartoon drawing Picture Quote #1

I’m pulling out different aspects of my personality in writing each character and, if I’m doing my job well, I’m being true to the situation and true to the character Picture Quote #1

I’ve always tried to make the strip animated, even when the characters aren’t moving, with expressions or perspectives or some sort of exaggeration. There’s great potential for that which has yet to be fully mined Picture Quote #1

In a comic strip, you can suggest motion and time, but it’s very crude compared to what an animator can do. I have a real awe for good animation Picture Quote #1

Books are almost always better than the movies made from them, because there are things books do well and things movies do well, but usually those things don’t overlap: the same with comics and animation Picture Quote #1

Animation, by necessity, is a team sport, and the fewer people with input into my work, the better I like it Picture Quote #1
