Humor levels the playing field. I understood that early on – that was something I had.

There is humor that’s just whimsy, that we smile at, but the humor that we laugh at, someone has to be – someone’s dignity has to be reduced.

I do find that humor helps in relationships. It certainly helps in my marriage now because I’m a very, very fallible person. And if I wasn’t funny I’d be kicked right out the door.

I have been married three times and it just keeps better and better, but I’m going to stop here.

Humor is basically a cognitive process. And it’s a creative process not only on the part of the cartoonist but on the part of the viewer.

It’s always harder satirize what you like rather than what you dislike.

As a cartoonist I do what I find funny. As an editor I have a broader approach realizing that humor is inherently subjective and I don’t want my preferences to rule out what others might like.

I think what Jewish culture taught me and what the – and Jewish culture now is everyone’s culture – is all these embarrassing things, all these guilt-filled things, all these anxiety filled things are material.

Primitive, naive drawing can also be good drawing but it’s hard to pull off. I don’t think most submitters realize that.

You do have to put in a lot time to get good at anything and than includes cartoons. So I think it’s true of art and everything else.
