I'm trying to make the best of what I've been given.

The role used to be to mix things up and I think to a great extent it still is, but the quality of the work of the political cartoon has been succeeded by the wisecrack, the gag cartoon, so that the cartoonist becomes more of the equivalent of the Jay Leno monologues, or David Letterman monologues.

In a story, for example, you'll start off with a character who is a little bit of a cartoon. That's not satisfying and you start revising.

The close observation equals love of them.
