Dan Collins has drawn cartoons for magazines, greeting cards, marketing and advertising, but almost no one knows about his editorial work for one of the nation’s oldest single-family-owned daily newspapers, the Delaware Gazette of Delaware, Oho. This is a side of Dan you’ll see nowhere holding the powerful to account, skewering local officials, and presenting hometown events in a touching, always humorous way. Dan always brings a pen to a sword fight.
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.
