| Born in Jasper, Alberta, Wyatt Tremblay has spent most of his life fighting off giant, blood-sucking mosquitoes, rutting moose, rabid gophers, politicians, bureaucrats, gold miners, unions, clergy and just about anybody and anything else he has managed to irritate with his view on the world. His first professional experience in cartooning was at the age of 16, when he was actually paid cash to draw a cartoon for Yukon’s first full-colour magazine, Yukon Fireweed. Later, he drew for the St.Elias Echo in Haines Junction, under the shadow of the majestic snow-covered mountains of Kluane National Park. In November of 1992 he was offered the job of political cartoonist at the Yukon News. Since then he has won numerous awards from the CCNA, BCYNA, BCNF, and published a mildly successful book of his pictorial musings for the News.
He lives in Whitehorse, Yukon, with his wife, Paulette, and their four children, Josh, Adam, Brittany and Justin.
