It's fun to take two topics and mix them into one cartoon.

I think some days you should do a cartoon that is absolutely just for the laugh, and some days you should do a cartoon that just punches the reader right in the stomach. It's kind of nice to mix it up.

I still do the standard editorial cartoon: that is my bread and butter. I absolutely love doing that.

Student cartoonists as well as professionals should always be careful that they're not doing a cartoon that already has been done.

We have to be able to poke fun at ourselves.

With a standard editorial cartoon, you're taking tons of information and synthesizing it down to a single bite - a single moment in time. With animated editorial cartoons, it's more storytelling.
