Collection Of 40 Witty Cartoons By John Atkinson Spanning Science, Literature, And Pop Culture
John Atkinson, a Canadian cartoonist, found his love for cartooning while doodling with his children.
John Atkinson, hailing from Canada, is the creative mind behind the comic series "Wrong Hands." Drawing has been a part of his life since childhood, a passion that led him to pursue fine arts at university.
However, the true spark for cartooning ignited when he started sketching with his children. This casual, joyful activity opened a new path for him, blending his lifelong love for art with the fun of storytelling through cartoons.
"Wrong Hands" is particularly clever because Atkinson takes the hefty tales from classic literature and compresses them into short, witty summaries. Imagine taking a big, old book you might see in a library and turning its story into a couple of funny sentences that you could laugh about over dinner.
That’s Atkinson's specialty. He is greatly influenced by British humor, drawing inspiration from comedy gold like "Blackadder," "Monty Python," and the literary humor of P.G. Wodehouse. This British comedy blend, known for its sharp wit and clever delivery, colors his cartoons, giving them a unique flavor.
Additionally, Atkinson nods to the iconic comic strips that many of us grew up with or have come to love. Charles Schulz's "Peanuts" and Gary Larson's "The Far Side" have left a mark on his style.
Both of these comics have a way of capturing life's absurdities and the human condition in just a few panels, a skill Atkinson admires and emulates in his work.
