Because of my grey hair and glasses, people think I'm Phil Donahue.

The problem when you're a cartoonist and you go into the voting booth is that you have your choice of two guys - one would be best for your country, and one would be best for your business.

I really do have a self-censorship problem, which isn't the way you should be if you're a cartoonist.

I look at people, and I like to laugh at them.

I thought that through the strip, I could vent my spleen and be funny at the same time. But when it comes to humor, there's no substitute for reality and politicians.

I'm looking forward to working for the 'Tribune' because any company that can invest in the Chicago Cubs has a view of the future we cannot begin to comprehend.
