[on Men:] I'm Torn Between

Cartooning Is A Wonderful Career, And I'd Like More Women To Get To Have It. I Can't Think Of Any Reason Why We Won't See More Syndicated Female Cartoonists In The Future.

Imagine My Surprise When, After A Lifetime Of Teaching Me To Keep Personal Things To Myself, Mom Insisted My Drawings Were The Start Of A Comic Strip For Millions Of People To Enjoy.

My Mother Had Always Taught Me To Write About My Feelings Instead Of Sharing Really Personal Things With Others, So I Spent Many Evenings Writing In My Diary, Eating Everything In The Kitchen And Waiting For Mr. Wrong To Call.

Otherwise, My Whole Career Has Just Been Flinging Myself At Whatever Is Most Overdue First And Letting Everything Else Stack Up.

Each Of Us Wages A Private Battle Each Day Between The Grand Fantasies We Have For Ourselves And What Actually Happens.
