Interview with Robert Leighton

Here's an interview that The Medium site did with New Yorker cartoonist and professional puzzle-writer Robert Leighton.

"I don’t think that cartoonists ever decide to become cartoonists. I think they just don’t decide to become something else. I think that when we are little we are instinctively creative and open about the world, and we can’t draw all that well, and we think the world we see is confusing and adults are dumb, and all that stuff. And we simply continue along that path until we learn how to draw better. Then we’re cartoonists."
