I Had A Mixture, My Father Was

When I Was An Art Student In The Early 60′s Before The Acid Scene Began I Was Smoking Pot Just Like Anyone Else Who Was An Artist.

What I Do Is Draw But If You Make An Animated Feature Obviously It Takes A Whole Team Of People, And Zippy Is My Work. I Felt That Turning It Over To A Team Of People Would Be Wrong.

Then I Abandoned Comics For Fine Art Because I Had Some Romantic Vision Of Being Like Vincent Van Gogh Jr.

Frivolity Is A Stern Taskmaster.

My First Character Was Mr. Toad.
