Zippy accepts chaos as what it is, which is the real order of everything. |
I had a mixture, my father was a career army man and my mother was a writer. |
I hate Calvin and Hobbes. I think its a big re-hash of formula kid strips. |
If something is going on in my life, it winds up getting into my strip. |
A full, rich drawing style is a drawback. |
Well, I've done a lot of strips since I've been here about Zippy and me being in Connecticut. |

Looking back Little Lulu was an early feminist, but at the time I just thought she was a really feisty developed comic strip character. |

Yes, but personally I was never a big acid head. |
Zippy is living in the moment. |
My first character was Mr. Toad. |
I always thought of Levittown as a joke. |
All life is a blur of Republicans and meat. |
