"Cartoons are ridicule and satire by definition. A negative attitude is the nature of the art."

“Nobody ever accused me of being objective.”

“I don't see a great deal in editorial cartooning today, and neither do the editors. Damn few of them want cartoons that say something that should be said, politically, that is. As long as that continues, cartoonists are going to be in bad shape, but not as bad shape as the publishers and owners of the newspapers will be in when the people realize they're not reading anything.”

“I wake up angry every morning and start reading. Then I'm furious.”

“Throughout our history - and that of the world - it's always come down to the friction between the haves and have-nots or between the average Joes and the large corporations. So that's a recurring theme in my work.”

“I decide who's right and who's wrong, and go from there. But I can't just comment on an issue. I've got to take an editorial position. Too many cartoonists simply illustrate the news. Well, the readers know the news, and a cartoon that illustrates doesn't tell them a thing they don't already know. So, I formulate an opinion and draw it.”

“Editorial cartoonists are idealists, of another world. Political, social and moral injustices are perceived as monstrosities sweep aside all the complexities and go to the basic issue; to take suspicions, coincidences and past events and record them larger than life.”
