He decided while in junior high school that he would pursue an art career after reading in the local newspaper that a cartoonist named Webster made $50,000 a year. "I thought, 'Boy, that's a lot.' I went down and saw him, and he talked to me. Then I started drawing for my junior high school. It made me feel like I could really draw."
