Additional quotes by Liana Finck

I don't know a lot of cartoonists who laugh a lot. I think when we hear a joke we just get still like a dog who smells an animal.

I think both of us deep down have this feeling that either you can have your art or you can have your life. I don’t think that’s really true. I think you can have both.
