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.
feeling fly great
You know that great car-stomach feeling when you fly over a hump? That was my whole body.
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.
house trouble imagine
I grew up in a house that had a whole lot of trouble. As much trouble as you could imagine.
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.
