What is consistent? Whats going to be the same in an Oliphant cartoon from day to day?
Mr. Oliphant: A general feeling of fair play, I hope. A feeling of distrust for lawyers, politicians, and the running dogs of that ilk. Just the dislike of banality and greed, and those people who are in a position to do good and instead do the opposite. Mr. Katz: When did you decide to take another look at your working practices? Mr. Oliphant: Around 1980 I experienced a renaissance of sorts. I looked at my drawing and I wasn’t pleased with it. I didn’t like the way it was going, I didn’t like this paper, I thought I should be getting more into my drawing than I’m getting, acknowledging that when you cartoon it’s easy to get into bad habits. Then you tend to start drawing by code and you’ll just get sloppy unless you review what you’re doing every so often and go back over a year’s work and say, well, this was better than that, I should have kept this, I should throw that out, how can I improve this, and so forth. So I went through one of those periods of reassessment. Mr. Katz: Durin
