People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realize how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world.

Animation, by necessity, is a team sport, and the fewer people with input into my work, the better I like it.

I won't eat any cereal that doesn't turn the milk purple.

I go to school, but I never learn what I want to know.

If you've ever compared a film to a novel it's based on, you know the novel gets bludgeoned. It's inevitable, because different media have different strengths and needs, and when you make a movie, the movie's needs get served.

You will do well to cultivate the resources in yourself that bring you happiness outside of success or failure.

I wish people were more like animals. Animals don't try to change you or make you fit in. They just enjoy the pleasure of your company. Animals aren't conditional about friendships. Animals like you just the way you are. They listen to your problems, they comfort you when you're sad, and all they ask in return is a little kindness.

I hope some historian will confirm that I was the first cartoonist to use the word 'booger' in a newspaper comic strip.

It seems the less I do and say, the better everyone likes my work!

Too often cartoonists just look at other cartoonists and, after a lot of inbreeding, everyone has the same funny look. The challenge of drawing is that there is no one right way to visually describe something. It's a good thing to confront your limitations and preconceptions every so often.

I always think of Popeye and Barney Google as quintessential comic strips in that old rollicky, slapstick way we've sort of lost.

A box of new crayons! Now they’re all pointy, lined up in order, bright and perfect. Soon they’ll be a bunch of ground down, rounded, indistinguishable stumps, missing their wrappers and smudged with other colors. Sometimes life seems unbearably tragic.

If you don't get a goodnight kiss, you get Kafka dreams.

Calvin: Sometimes when I'm talking, my words can't keep up with my thoughts. I wonder why we can think faster than we speak? Hobbes: Probably so we can think twice.

We all have different desires and needs, but if we don't discover what we want from ourselves and what we stand for, we will live passively and unfulfilled.

I think comics overall would be better. I think there's a tremendous potential to be tapped.

I wasn't having any luck getting accepted anyway and it forced me to re-examine what it was that I really wanted to do. In my experience in political cartooning, I was never one of those people who read the headlines and foams at the mouth with rabid opinion that I've just got to get down on paper.

Isn't it sad how some people's grip on their lives is so precarious that they'll embrace any preposterous delusion rather than face an occasional bleak truth?

Having an enviable career is one thing. Being a happy person is another

I like my smock. You can tell the quality of the artist by the quality of his smock. Actually, I just like to say smock. Smock smock smock smock smock smock.
