"The Obama explosion was all about this hope for turning things around. I'm all for that kind of hope. But it will be slapped down and snuffed out over and over again. Still, it will survive — and what then?

"The old fogey in me doesn't expect much, but the boy-cartoonist in me remains foolishly idealistic as ever, but not foolish enough to involve myself directly or politically again.

"The kids' books are my primary form of protest. They represent the gentler, sweeter world that, as we grow older, we go about corrupting first chance we get. No, that's too cynical. Second and third chance we get."
