David Parkins arrived in Canada from the UK in 2006. He has produced cartoons for The Guardian, The Observer, The Sunday Times, The Times Higher Education Supplement and, more recently, Nature. He has also worked regularly for the British children's comics The Beano and The Dandy, and illustrated more books than he cares to think about.
Now he is trying to infiltrate the Canadian cartooning scene. He lives in Ontario with his wife, Angie, and daughter, Hattie.
