Cartooning Is About Deconstruction: You

Dear Lord, I've Been Asked, Nay Commanded, To Thank Thee For The Christmas Turkey Before Us... A Turkey Which Was No Doubt A Lively, Intelligent Bird... A Social Being... Capable Of Actual Affection... Nuzzling Its Young With Almost Human- Like Compassion. Anyway, It's Dead And We're Gonna Eat It. Please Give Our Respects To Its Family.

That's The Conundrum Of Cartoon Stripping, As Opposed To Political Cartoons. When Your Anger Is The Driving Force Of Your Drawing Hand, Failure Follows. The Anger Is Ok, But It Has To Serve The Interests Of The Heart, Frankly.

If Nothing Is Serious Anymore, Then There's Nothing To Satirize.

I Was Never Asked To Join The Editorial Cartoonists Of America. No Fraternity Would Have Me In College, Either. I Think They Know Something.

I Will Go To My Grave In A State Of Abject Endless Fascination That We All Have The Capacity To Become Emotionally Involved With A Personality That Doesn't Exist.
