Garry Trudeau Quotes

“I had more flow as a designer. I could just drop down into the zone and stay there for hours. With cartooning, I'm constantly coming up for air, procrastinating, looking for reasons not to be doing it. I spend all day granting myself special dispensation, with 'creative process' as my cover story. Carpenters and deli countermen can't do that, so I think they may feel better about themselves at the end of the day.”

Garry Trudeau

[Doonesbury's War, Gene Weingarten, http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/10/20/AR2006102000446_5.html?nav=hcmoduleand=again, Washington Post, October 22, 2006, July 24, 2007]

“Whether you think we belong in Iraq or not, we can't tune it out; we have to remain mindful of the terrible losses that individual soldiers are suffering in our name.”

Garry Trudeau
