Just come up with a little gag, and I'd show it to him. "In second grade the class bully would not tease me or bully me if I had a gag," Willems said. "Let's say we're having a good time, right? Imagine if a giant hand came down, plucked you out of the room and said, 'No, now we're doing something else.' And if you complained it was your fault for getting fussy, for being angry about the hand dragging you out of the room."Īs for Willems' own childhood, he grew up in New Orleans, the son of Dutch immigrants, and started cartooning at a young age: You walk into a room and the room is saying, 'You, you're nobody,' right? "We're born into a world where none of the furniture matches you. "It's a terrible time, a terrible time" Willems said.
