Dan Collins is a veteran cartoonist whose career began in 1976 when he started freelancing for magazines at the age of 22. Since then, he has created over 20,000 gag cartoons, along with comic strips, magazine covers, greeting cards, and editorial illustrations. Known for his distinctive humor and style, his work has reached audiences across the U.S. and internationally. In addition to illustration and design work, he founded an e-publishing house offering cartoon e-books by himself and fellow artists. He lives in a small Ohio town with his wife, guitars, orchids, and—by choice—no cats.
