- You can't just draw a strip to tell jokes. The cartoonist has to actually BE the lead character. When I realized I was Grimm, my strip took off.
- (advice to aspiring cartoonists): "Practice, practice, practice."
- I try to have fun when I draw. If you have fun drawing a cartoon, people will have fun looking at it.
