The journalism school helped me develop writing skills, and I had been enjoying cartooning from a very young age. My interest in puppetry, however, came much later.
I have no idea what readership is of written editorials, but it doesn't come anywhere close to the readership of editorial cartoons.
I am like a cartoon strip; I am like Donald Duck; everybody knows me in Italy.
You can't think that you're playing a villain, or you'll end up with a cartoon. You have to think about him as a person and a hero.
Any cartoon that can be liked by a committee is really not worth drawing; in fact, must not be drawn at all! Better to become a stockbroker.
I was traumatized by the cartoon version of 'The Hobbit.' It's not supposed to be scary, I don't think, but literally I think that's the most scared I've ever been.
Some things that I write, you'll see a page with cartoon pictures or a drawing of a car - like a Ford - or a flag. I still do it on an occasion when a word is strange to me.
Because good writing in a TV cartoon is so rare, I think the animation on The Simpsons is often overlooked.
Cartoons are like fruit flies. Biologists use fruit flies because their large chromosomes and short life cycle make them ideal for studying hereditary changes.
I'm a big kid. I love drinking chocolate milk. I'm not afraid to watch some cartoons once in a while when I'm with my nieces and actually be attentive.
I'm really interested in making a mark on a paper and letting that be cursive shorthand for an idea - that's the origin of cartooning.
Many of my cartoons are not a belly laugh. I go for nostalgia, the lump in the throat, the tear in the eye, the tug in the heart.
On Career Day in high school, you don't walk around looking for the cartoon guy.
Making a cartoon occupied usually about three full days, two spent in labour and one in removing the appearance of labour.
Beanie and Cecil was the first cartoon I remember watching and I think there are analogies.
I don't think there's more than half-a-dozen cartoons that I've been really truly happy with in all the time I've been doing it.
I was a really big fan of cartoons growing up, and I loved to read too much into them most of the time.
I don't want all of American cinema to be big cartoons that are just made to be digested by the entire world.
I've dealt with Hollywood about having my work made into a film or cartoon but nothing came of it. That's not to say I wouldn't like to see something happen.
I stress character, character, character.
I'm a huge fan of Warner Brothers cartoons. I would spend many hours alone after school watching Daffy Duck. I think Daffy Duck is one of the great comedic villains.
