I could draw
Bloom County with my nose and pay my cleaning lady to write
it, and I'd bet I wouldn't lose 10 % of my papers over the
next twenty years. Such is the nature of comic-strips. Once
established, their half-life is usually more than nuclear
waste.
-- Berke Breathed
In the final
analysis, a drawing simply is no longer a drawing, no matter
how self-sufficient its execution may be. It is a symbol,
and the more profoundly the imaginary lines of projection
meet higher dimensions, the better.
-- Paul Klee
1879-1940, Swiss Artist
There is a
relationship between cartooning and people like Miró and
Picasso which may not be understood by the cartoonist, but
it definitely is related even in the early Disney.
-- Roy Lichtenstein
1923, American Artist
Matisse makes
a drawing, then he makes a copy of it. He recopies it five
times, ten times, always clarifying the line. He's convinced
that the last, the most stripped down, is the best, the
purest, the definitive one; and in fact, most of the time,
it was the first. In drawing, nothing is better than the
first attempt.
-- Pablo Picasso
1881-1973, Spanish Artist

A drawing is
always dragged down to the level of its caption.

My drawings
have been described as pre-internationalist, meaning that
they were finished before the ideas for them had occurred to
me. I shall not argue the point.
