The whole pleasure for me is having the opportunity to do a comic strip for a living, and now that I've finally got that I'm not going to give it away. . . . Any time somebody else has their hand in the ink it's changing the product, and I enjoy the responsibility for this product. I'm willing to take the blame if the strip goes down the drain, and I want the credit if it succeeds. So long as it has my name on it, I want it to be mine.

Why isn't my life like a situation comedy Why don't I have a bunch of friends with nothing better to do but drop by and instigate wacky adventures Why aren't my conversations peppered with spontaneous witticisms Why don't my friends demonstrate heartfelt concern for my well being when I have problems ...I gotta get my life some writers.
