Stephan Pastis Quotes

The wonderful thing about a book is that you have a canvas that is 300 pages wide, and it’s all free space. You can make a piece of art as big as you want and whatever shape you want Picture Quote #1
Maybe the bar is low, but most of the strips that are 50, 60, 70 years old that are on their second or third generation of artists, the humor is pretty bland. There are others by people that were raised on ‘Family Guy’ or ‘South Park’ that are edgier. Mine’s not as edgy as those, but it’s edgier than ‘Beetle Bailey.’ Picture Quote #1
I’m very harsh on real estate agents. I’m not sure why. Maybe it’s because of how the call every small house ‘charming’ and every run-down house a ‘great fixer-upper’. Just once, I’d like them to show me a house and declare, ‘This one’s a piece of crap’ Picture Quote #1
When you do anything creative, you really have to live entirely in that world. I think my ability to do that is what makes me such a bad dinner guest. I’m always looking over someone’s shoulder, taking in stuff around the room, immersed in the world of whatever I’m writing about, and keeping the characters completely in my head Picture Quote #1
It seems so absurd to get really mad with a cartoonist over a comic strip. It’s sort of like getting in a fight with a circus clown outside your house. It’s not going to end well Picture Quote #1
A comic strip has a rhythm and a pattern, and you got to get in and out quick. So you set up a joke, tell the joke, and done Picture Quote #1

You can write a little and can draw a little, but there’s necessarily a limitation on both in a comic strip, since it appears in such a tiny space Picture Quote #1
To get syndicated as a comic strip artist is as likely as winning the lottery Picture Quote #1
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 Picture Quote #1
I like characters who have blind spots and are full of themselves, but there also needs to be vulnerability Picture Quote #1
I don’t pay that much attention to sales figures or awards. To me, the big question is: ‘Did you influence the next generation?’ That’s my goal Picture Quote #1
Brits have a better sense of humor in most ways. It’s darker, more cutting Picture Quote #1

When you can’t draw chameleons and you can’t draw blenders, it’s a bad idea to write strips where chameleons become blenders Picture Quote #1
I think it might surprise the average person how angry people can get over the comics Picture Quote #1
A stand-up comedian faces the audiences and gets their immediate feedback. I hide behind the comic strip, and unless people write to me, I don’t know what they think Picture Quote #1
We need more cartoonists to truly retire when they retire, and not run repeats Picture Quote #1
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 Picture Quote #1
I was a lawyer for 10 years, and when you’re in law, things really have to get done, or somebody sues you. Its a great trick Picture Quote #1

The writing is done on the computer, and the drawing is done by hand. I write, write, write, then I hit the illustration Picture Quote #1
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 Picture Quote #1
Brits have a better sense of humor in most ways. It’s darker, more cutting Picture Quote #1

If somebody is not on the same page with me humor wise, I can’t give them that Picture Quote #1
I seem to be able to get away with pun strips if I add a panel at the end where I somehow indicate that I know it’s a bad pun Picture Quote #1

When you can’t draw chameleons and you can’t draw blenders, it’s a bad idea to write strips where chameleons become blenders Picture Quote #1
I recently forced myself to read a book on quantum physics, just to try and learn something new. I was confused by the middle of the first sentence and it all went downhill from there. The only thing I can remember learning is that a parallel universe can theoretically be contained on the head of a needle. I don’t really know what that means, but I am now more careful handling needles Picture Quote #1
