The only thing I really ever wanted to be was a cartoonist. That's my life. Drawing.
A cartoonist is someone who has to draw the same thing day after day without repeating himself.
I just draw what I think is funny, and I hope other people think it is funny, too.
I never give my work to somebody else and say, "What do you think about that?" I just don't trust anybody. If I think it's funny, or if I think it's silly, I send it in anyway because I'm just trying to please myself. I never try to please a certain audience. I think that's disastrous. There's no way in the world you can anticipate what your reader is going to like or dislike.
If I were a better artist, I'd be a painter, and if I were a better writer, I'd write books — but I'm not, so I draw cartoons!
