98% of the people who get the magazine say they read the cartoons first - and the other 2% are lying.
David Remnick

After I had done a handful of cartoons I was satisfied with, I started submitting them to the magazines.
Joseph Barbera

And, uh, I've got about six thousand cartoons up there, also books and papers.
Rube Goldberg

As soon as I found out how compartmentalized the industry was, I realized, Well, no wonder the cartoons are so bad.
John Kricfalusi

At one time Tribune Syndicate emptied out their storeroom. They put tables full of original cartoons down in the lobby and said take one if you want one. The comics were simply a burden to them.
Mort Walker

But by us doing a lot on the road, we were able to afford things like videos on the tours, cartoons that we'd open up the shows with. We were doing that way back when and now it's the hippest thing to do. We're just coming back around, I guess trying to play catch-up.
Bootsy Collins

Cartooning at its best is a fine art. I'm a cartoonist who works in the medium of animation, which also allows me to paint my cartoons.
Ralph Bakshi

Cartoons have always been an enjoyment to me... a relaxation... I get my ideas from everyday events.
Matthew Ashford

He always describes his characters' voices and their physique so brilliantly. As people have said, they are cartoons, caricatures. They're grotesques really.
Simon Callow

I don t think cartoons are only for kids, but I think kids will love anything as long as it's visually interesting.
John Kricfalusi

I don't think there's more than half-a-dozen cartoons that I've been really truly happy with in all the time I've been doing it.
Pat Oliphant

I first pitched the idea of doing a series of cartoons based on Bible stories. They didn't much like it.
Joseph Barbera

I have no idea what readership is of written editorials, but it doesn't come anywhere close to the readership of editorial cartoons.
Paul Conrad

I never got tired of Tom and Jerry, but I did have a dream of doing more with my life than making cartoons.
Joseph Barbera

I quickly realized that this medium had a lot to offer someone like me. To do Disney-quality hand-drawn cartoons, you have to be a master of two art forms. Seriously, you have to be able to draw like a Leonardo da Vinci or a Michelangelo. But also you have to know movement and timing and control that through 24 frames a second.
John Lasseter

I realized that people make cartoons for a living. It had never dawned on me that you could do this as a career.
John Lasseter

I see myself as an artist who happens to do cartoons.
Pat Oliphant

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.
Lynda Barry

I was doing political cartoons and getting angry to the point where I felt I was going to have to start making and throwing bombs. I thought I was probably a better cartoonist than a bomb maker.
Terry Gilliam

I was unable to sleep and I would stay up and draw these little cartoons. Then a friend showed them around. Before I knew it I was a cartoonist.
Lynda Barry
