John Wagner, Creator of Hallmark's Maxine
With her drooping, grayish exterior and sour spirit to match, one particular cartoon character has made a big impression. She seems to peer through dark glasses directly at readers, scrutinizing and examining. Then the scrawny old woman utters a humdinger of a crabby comment from, of all places, the inside of a greeting card. That’s <i>Maxine</I>, speaking out for the older generation and making a lot of smiles in the process.

Mike Baldwin, Creator of Cornered
Mike Baldwin, creator of Cornered, has given himself a mission: Adding cartoons to other sections of the newspaper, not just the comics and editorial page. He has had some success, with the refreshingly funny Cornered appearing on the front page of several big-city newspapers. Cornered is one of the first cartoons to be coloured by the cartoonist, rather than by a colouring agency.

Paul Gilligan, Creator of Pooch Cafe
Dogs. Big or shy, round or skinny, small or sassy. Cartoonists like to create comic strips about dogs. There are perhaps enough good and bad dog comics submitted to syndicates to fill a large kennel. With more barking at the door, one comic strip has made its way to the front of the pack.

Mark O'Hare, Creator of Citizen Dog
We should have guessed it – the signs were right there in the comic strip <i>Citizen Dog.</I> No longer do our pets sit subservient at our feet, waiting for a scrap of food or a tickle behind the ears. Instead, those endearing creatures are making us laugh as they take the car keys and drive away. We chuckle as Fergus Dog and his friends lock the doors when they see his master, Mel, coming and we smile when the dogs refuse to let him in.

Mark Tatulli, Creator of Heart of the City
Fashioned from the perspectives of a little girl and her busy single mom, Heart of the City contains all the wisdom, frustrations and laughter to be found in raising a precocious child. From Heart’s determination to find her mother a boyfriend to the Italian nanny’s great cooking, we would be certain the comic strip has a woman’s sensitivities, a real female cartoonist’s view of the world. Right? Nope. Heart of the City is created by a man.

Tom Batiuk, Creator of Funky Winkerbean
Guns, cancer, teen pregnancy and alcoholism are tough topics to discuss in any forum, let alone in cartoons. Tom Batiuk (sounds like “Battick”) takes on the hard issues in his comic strip creation, Funky Winkerbean. Batiuk shares information and support, with teenagers in particular, that find themselves in troubling positions. Somehow, the cartoonist is able to find humour in the serious events.
