- Drawing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
During my Austin years, I was drawing a regular strip for the University Of Texas newspaper, going to school, delivering blood, and trying to change my approach and 'style' as much as I could, since I knew that I'd calcify as I got older.
- Know
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I guess I just don't like being physically in front of people I don't know very well, because I expect to be 'seen through,' or, even worse, instantly hated.
- Mom
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
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.
- Music
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think it has most to do with the way in which a story is told, whether it feels real either via the music of the telling or the 'honesty' of the story.
- Feeling
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Lately, I can't shake the feeling that I've been living a dream for the last 10 years or so; I can't account for most of my 20s, and I have to continually remind myself that certain people are dead now and many of my friends have children.
- Comic
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Mostly, I was only interested in television as a kid, and the majority of reading material I collected was an adjunct to that central concern, comic books and magazines included.
- Bad
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
No one blames themselves if they don't understand a cartoon, as they might with a painting or 'real' art; they simply think it's a bad cartoon.
- My Own
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Sometimes I get worried I'm getting too caught up in the nauseatingly oily smoothness of my own line, when all I'm trying to do is make it as clear as possible.
- Creation
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The thing I don't understand is why so often one hears discussion of the fruits of human labor as if it's all the creation of some alien race.
- Cartoons
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Cartoons are not real drawings, because they are drawings intended to be read.
- Pictures
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
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.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
A book sometimes seems to impose a through-line to life that real life doesn't actually have.
- Like
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The thing I like most about books is that anybody can afford them. They have an innate valuelessness.
- Messy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I had a messy signature as a child, and my grandmother said this suggested I had no regard for other people. She was right.
- Head

- Nov 07, 2020
My head looks like an uncooked ham with glasses.
- Fortified
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My grandmother was an unparalleled storyteller who gave me a preview of how life might turn out, and also fortified my empathy.
- Believe
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Well, there are better cartoonists now than there ever have been. I firmly believe that. There's some amazing work being done.

One of the things that appealed to me most about comics was that you can pick the ones you like and build your own personal pantheon.
- Nov 07, 2020
The real power of comics is writing as you draw.
- Book
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When I was 11 years old, I thought, 'All I really wanna be able to do is my own comic book,' and I'm doing it. I don't have any other real ambitions. I have nothing to conquer at all.
- New
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I still can't get over the idea that respectable adults now go to see superhero movies and that such films get reviewed in the 'New Yorker.' Clearly, I am seriously out of step with the times.
- Myself
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As I've gotten older I've occasionally found myself nostalgic for earlier periods of solitude, though I realize that's also likely a false nostalgia, as I know there was nothing I wanted more during those periods than to not be alone, whatever that means.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My wife has joked that if anything ever happened to me, she'd gladly live out her life without anyone else around. I think it bugs her I'm home all the time; such is the life cycle of the cartoonist, however.
- Look
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The first thing I do when I get up is I look out the window. I've been looking at the same image for six years. It's imprinted in my mind like an afterimage template.
- Like
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Music
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Ragtime has about the same amount of respect as comics. And in a way they're similar art forms. Ragtime is highly compositional, and the emotion in the music is built in, whereas in jazz a lot of that emotion comes from the way it's performed.
- Alive
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I can definitely say that of all my friends who I consider to be really great cartoonists, we're all trying to aim at basically the same thing, which is an ever closer representation of what it feels like to be alive.
- How
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There seems to be a peculiar kind of clamor for comics. And I'm not sure how much a part of reality that is. I think partly it's based on some idea that comics are what everybody wants to read - and I don't think that's the case.
- Mouth
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I have a preponderance to look smug in photos; something to do with the way my mouth turns up at the corners.
- Age
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I believe that the development of language - of naming, categorization, conceptualization - destroys our ability to see as we age.
