american-cartoonist cigar cruise exploding love time track willingly
If it is your time love will track you down like a cruise missile. If you say 'No! I don't want it right now,' that's when you'll get it for sure. Love will make a way out of no way. Love is an exploding cigar which we willingly smoke.
jokes happenings ifs
In life there are always these things happening if you can just get the joke.
dream art beer
Sometimes, I think the only art left for us is slowly peeling the label off a beer bottle while somebody tells you about a dream they had.
high-heels guy confusing
These are very confusing times. For the first time in history a woman is expected to combine: intelligence with a sharp hairdo, a raised consciousness with high heels, and an open, nonsexist relationship with a tan guy who has a great bod.
hands intuition watches
Always watch the hands. The hands will tell you everything you need to know.
couple school kids
The thing that really struck me when I went to junior high was class. I grew up on a pretty poor street, but the school district I was in included some fine neighborhoods - so I got to know a couple of the kids from those places and went to their houses and experienced such culture shock.
remember wave comic
I remember my comic strips being called 'new wave.' It bugged me.
cartoon would-be behind-my-back
I started doing cartoons when I was about 21. I never thought I would be a cartoonist. It happened behind my back. I was always a painter and drawer.
thrill kind letterman
Going on Letterman is like going off the high dive. It's exhilarating, but after a while it wasn't the kind of thrill I enjoyed.
shadow
I am about as detailed as a shadow.
cheer thinking people
I need to be cheered up a lot. I think funny people are people who need to be cheered up.
horror realistic enjoy
Part of a horror movie has to be a bit fakey for me to really enjoy it. The new ones are so realistic that they distract me from the ride through the horror.
upset wrecks emotional-wreck
The strips are nearly effortless unless I am really emotionally upset, a wreck.
loud laughed
I wasn't afraid to be laughed at or be loud.
