character ideas down-and
I find it very hard to sit down and create an idea or especially a new character on command. Usually my characters evolve by accident out of some story context.
character tvs liquor
George Liquor is really the richest character I have. I'm amazed there aren't 365 episodes about him on TV already.
inspiration character creating
The only character I ever remember actually creating in a flash of inspiration was George Liquor. God planted that in my head in an instant.
Most cartoons are those colors. They have been for 35 years.
extremely family guy
You can draw Family Guy when you're 10 years old. You don't have to get any better than that to become a professional cartoonist. The standards are extremely low.
buy cartoon complete damn everybody green industry painting pink purple school theory
You buy any book on color theory today, and it's just complete poppycock. Everybody comes out of school painting pink, purple and green. The whole damn cartoon industry has pink purple and green on their mind.
Mel Blanc has been gone for 30 years, even though he's still around.
human intended
My intended audience was everybody. I just want to make cartoons for human beings.
draw magazine nobody
Open a magazine from the 1930s and '40s and look at the illustrations in it. There's nobody alive that could touch the way they could draw back then.
people
Not very many people can draw who are illustrators today.
eye people flying
Not all cartoon humor is just about having bugged-out eyes and tongues flying out of people's heads.
writing today old-movie
In old movies, the cinematography is a thousand times better than anything today. Writing, a thousand times better.
kids family-guy today
If you're a kid wanting to be a cartoonist today, and you're looking at Family Guy, you don't have to aim very high.
hate secret style
I'll let you in on a secret: I can't stand Jay Ward. I hate being compared to Rocky and Bullwinkle. It's just a different style of humor.
