Drawing on a computer doesn't make any sense to me. It's not intuitive.

I prefer to imagine that my wife, a few friends, and occasionally my mom are the only ones who read what I do, though I realize that this is somewhat unrealistic.

I don't think of myself as an illustrator. I think of myself as a cartoonist. I write the story with pictures - I don't illustrate the story with the pictures.

We will be just as ruthless as any of our targets. We will go for the throat.

Conservatives and liberals can find common ground.

I think the good news is that our team understands the positon they're in. If they want to win a division or a conference, they're going to have to fix their mistakes.

All the drug dealers and gang members with whom I dealt had [a cell phone] long before any police officer I knew did.
