The Western, When I Do

Fortunately, Cartooning Is Not A Job. It's Something Like Eating Or Sleeping.

Anyone Can Write A Story Based On The Kind Of Horror Where You See A Guy In Car And Then There's The Bad Guy In The Back Seat. It's Infantile To Rely On That For Telling A Story. That's Like Going To Bed And Thinking There's A Monster Under Your Bed. It's Silly.

Many Of The American Cartoonists That Want To Have A Job And Go So Much For The Total Right Without Thinking, Sometimes They Get A Slap On The Face When Their Politician Lets Them Down. So It Goes On And On. The Thing Is Staying In The Middle And Not Getting Committed, Trying To Get The Best Of Both And Do That With A Sense Of Humor.

When Sadness Happens In The Middle Of Work, I Separate My Personal Grief From My Train Of Thought.

Sometimes, You Start With The Drawing And Then The Gag Comes To You In The Middle Of It. That Is When You Start Working On The Solution Of The Gag, Which Is Composition, Placing, Equilibrium, And Character Design.
