A good cartoon, what it does, is sum up a situation, very neatly, as opposed to reading a lot of articles and so on.

For a young cartoonist, they have to get going on the web, because that's where everybody goes for their information. And it really works.

For a young cartoonist, they have to get going on the web, because that's where everybody goes for their information. And it really works. If you look at a cartoon on a computer screen, it really jumps and can be quite effective. I draw cartoons now, not how it will appear in the newspaper, but how it will appear on the screen. I think most of us do. Now the challenge is to make it move and animate it in a very fast, quick way.

I think it's important to understand that a cartoonist is not drawing for favourable reviews from politicians. What we're trying to do is capture the popular feeling of the time about a politician or a particular political issue. For that reason I think it sums up public attitudes that is very helpful to historians down the road.

I drew a vicious cartoon of an Islamic extremist as a dog, knowing full well what an insult that was is in the Islamic world. Furthermore, I added an apology to dogs everywhere (being a dog lover myself).

Personal matters aren't really any of my business. I don't care who is sleeping with whom for example unless it is somehow affecting an individual's performance in the public arena.
