John Kricfalusi Quotations

Not all cartoon humor is just about having bugged-out eyes and tongues flying out of people's heads.

In old movies, the cinematography is a thousand times better than anything today. Writing, a thousand times better.

If you're a kid wanting to be a cartoonist today, and you're looking at Family Guy, you don't have to aim very high.

I'll let you in on a secret: I can't stand Jay Ward. I hate being compared to Rocky and Bullwinkle. It's just a different style of humor.

I influenced the BG style by not being able to draw perspective. The BG artists developed cool graphic painting styles to make my bad backgrounds look like they were that way on purpose.

I find it very hard to sit down and create an idea or especially a new character on command. Usually my characters evolve by accident out of some story context.

I don t think cartoons are only for kids, but I think kids will love anything as long as it's visually interesting.

Cartoonists are untrained artists, while illustrators are more trained.

As soon as I found out how compartmentalized the industry was, I realized, Well, no wonder the cartoons are so bad.

All artists get better with age. The more you draw, the better you're going to get.
