We Want Playmates We Can Own.

I've Had Enormous Luck And Enormous Pleasure In Working In Such Forms As Movies And Plays That I Loved When I Was A Kid And I Just - Because I Could Always Write Dialogue, Because I Always Had A Sense Of How People Spoke. And Because I Had A Strong Narrative Sense; Growing Up And Loving Stories, Loving Novels, I Just Seem To Know How To Tell A Story And I Read A Lot, I Went To A Lot Of Movies, I Went To A Lot Of Plays, And It Rubbed Off On Me. And That's All. It Just Rubbed Off On Me.

I've Been Around A Long Time And I've Found That These Forms, Whether It's The Cartoon, Or Whether It's A Play, Or All These Dying Forms Refuse To Die. Something Happens To Rejuvenate Them And It Will Certainly Happen To The Political Cartoon. It Will Come Back. But Whether It's On The Internet, Or Whether It's In Some Other Form, However That Works, Whether It Looks The Way It Looks Now, Or Entirely Different, I Have No Idea. And Thank God I Don't Have To Worry About It.

There's The Excitement Of Adding Color, Which I Didn't Know Anything About Until 1997 Or So, When I Did My First Picture Book. So, The Kid's Book In Particular Have Been Exciting For Me Because It Forced Me To Go Back To The Work I Loved As A Young Boy Reading Sunday's Supplements And Comics In The Sunday Papers When I Was Six, Seven, Eight, Nine. And Number Of Which Have Been In Wonderful Collections, Beautifully Reproduced.
