I remember my comic strips being called "new wave." It bugged me.

If it is your time, love will track you down like a cruise missile.

The strips are nearly effortless unless I am really emotionally upset, a wreck.

Love is an exploding cigar we willingly smoke.

We don't create a fantasy world to escape reality. We create it to be able to stay.

I started doing cartoons when I was about 21. I never thought I would be a cartoonist. It happened behind my back. I was always a painter and drawer.

If I didn't try to eavesdrop on every bus ride I take or look for the humor when I go for a walk, I would just be depressed all the time.

No matter what, expect the unexpected. And whenever possible BE the unexpected.

I was unable to sleep and I would stay up and draw these little cartoons. Then a friend showed them around. Before I knew it I was a cartoonist.

Sometimes, I think the only art left for us is slowly peeling the label off a beer bottle while somebody tells you about a dream they had.

What year is it in your imagination?

Rainbows make great pets, because they're already house trained.

Beautiful girls are not a decoration, arm candy, an object. They are, whether they know it or not, the very essence of our humanity.

Mostly good is enough. Mostly good produces healthy kids who know they are valued and either forget the other parts or turn them into funny stories.

The longer I do my job ... the more I realize that humans lack good mirrors. It's so hard for anyone to show us how we look, and so hard for us to show anyone how we feel.

It's sad to be constantly judged for every move you make after your first success. If you wear your hair differently, you have changed.

We aged a hundred years, and this happened in a single hour: the short summer had already died, the body of the ploughed plains smoked.

That's really empowering - people recognize that I care about other things.

Science is the most complete presentment of facts with the least expenditure of thought

I have an agreement with the houseflies. The flies don't practice law and I don't walk on the ceiling.

I have three kinds of friends: those who love me, those who pay no attention to me, and those who detest me.
