...Finally, there's "Pepper ... and Salt," the small cartoon that has been running for 57 years and that has moved back - apparently due to popular demand - to the Journal's opinion pages. I've always felt uneasy around "Pepper ... and Salt," a bit like I do watching Jay Leno, whose high corn factor and consistent unfunniness make me cringe. But what do I know? America seems to love the guy, along with that little cartoon in the Journal...

...were a voice in Robots, and you're working on a couple more animated movies. What are the ups and downs of being a cartoon? It's not always easy. A lot of the time you'll end up saying the same line 50 different times, 50 different ways. But it's fun to play like a kid and do these extreme characters. And you don't have to brave the elements and stand outside in the freezing rain in the middle of the night...
