I couldn’t take their formula and bring what I had, my humor, my ideas, and make it my own."― Dianne Wiest "Humor has historically been tied to the mores of the day.

When you’re different in a society, you’re funny."― Will Eisner "Joe Barbera’s s always complaining that he can’t get humor into cartoons anymore. Just do it. You’ve got your money.
