I'm normally quite a polite person, but politeness has its limits. Sometimes it's just no use at all. I thought up "Selfish Pigs" while in a spectacularly bad mood about how much it was costing to rebuild my kitchen. Instead of stamping around shouting at people, I took it out on a piece of paper, and drew a pig that looked the way I felt. The rest of the cartoons barged their way rudely out of my mind pretty quickly. When I draw bunny suicide cartoons (for which I'm best known) the bunnies are enigmas: I don't know exactly why they are killing themselves any more than anyone else. The selfish pigs are different -- I know exactly how they feel, and they behave as I'd like to when I'm angry... if I had the courage. I hope these cartoons appeal to the "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it any more" parts of the people who see them. That's the part of me that they came from.

Yum, Pizza!
