By The Time They Had

I Thought Some Of My Earlier Cartoons Were Not Exactly Great Shakes At The Time I Drew Them. Now I See A Certain Innocence In Them. The Humor Has A Kind Of Purity To It, I Guess. And It Works Better On Some Level For Me Now.

I Think One Thing That's Important To Maintain Is A Sense Of Fear, Always Doubting Yourself... A Good Dose Of Insecurity Helps Your Work In Some Ways.

Cartooning Was A Good Fit For Me. And Yet Now, Years Later, I Almost Never Think About It.

I Don't Read Cartoons Because I Think For The Most Part The Comics Don't Have An Interest For Me. There's Just Nothing There These Days That Makes Me Want To Go Seek Them Out. I'm Not Trying To Say My Work Wouldn't Have Sparked That Same Reaction From Somebody Else. There's Just Nothing There For Me Personally.
