In Roslyn, Pennsylvania, we started our real-life family circus. They provided the inspiration for my cartoons. I provided the perspiration.

Yesterday's the past, tomorrow's the future, but today is a gift. That's why it's called the present.

A hug is like a boomerang - you get it back right away.

Today is a gift of God, which is why we call it the present.

They invented hugs to let people know you love them without saying anything.

A peaceful home is as sacred a place as any chapel or cathedral.

Goal begins with "GO."

We are, in the comics, the last frontier of good, wholesome family humor and entertainment.

Many of my cartoons are not a belly laugh. I go for nostalgia, the lump in the throat, the tear in the eye, the tug in the heart.

I don't have to come up with a ha-ha belly laugh every day, but drawings with warmth and love or ones that put a lump in the throat. That's more important to me than a laugh.

I think it's a novelty for cartoon characters to cross over into another strip or panel occasionally.

People will say I'm an idealist. I hope so.

The crux of the biscuit is the apostrophe!

As man now is, God once was; as God is now man may be.

I feel like we can prove in real time the old trope that comedy is tragedy plus time.

I try my best to really think about things before I react and respond.

Let not the hours pass by in the dark. Kindle the lamp of love with thy life.

The free economy is not the enemy but the friend of social capital.
