John Kricfalusi quotes about
human intended
My intended audience was everybody. I just want to make cartoons for human beings.
draw magazine nobody
Open a magazine from the 1930s and '40s and look at the illustrations in it. There's nobody alive that could touch the way they could draw back then.
people
Not very many people can draw who are illustrators today.
eye people flying
Not all cartoon humor is just about having bugged-out eyes and tongues flying out of people's heads.
writing today old-movie
In old movies, the cinematography is a thousand times better than anything today. Writing, a thousand times better.
kids family-guy today
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.
hate secret style
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.
artist perspective style
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.
character ideas down-and
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.
kids thinking interesting
I don t think cartoons are only for kids, but I think kids will love anything as long as it's visually interesting.
artist cartoonist illustrators
Cartoonists are untrained artists, while illustrators are more trained.
cartoon wonder found
As soon as I found out how compartmentalized the industry was, I realized, Well, no wonder the cartoons are so bad.
artist age get-better
All artists get better with age. The more you draw, the better you're going to get.
character tvs liquor
George Liquor is really the richest character I have. I'm amazed there aren't 365 episodes about him on TV already.
