About the author
Doug Sneyd
5 booksDoug Sneyd was a Canadian cartoonist, known for his work for newspapers and magazines, among them Playboy.
Sneyd was born in Guelph, one of seven siblings. He took the Famous Artists drawing correspondence course.

In 1963 he went to Chicago to show his portfolio to the editors of Playboy; hoping to do illustrations for them, he was asked to do gag cartoons. Sneyd objected at first but accepted upon learning cartoonists were very well-paid. He drew more than 450 cartoons for the magazine, until 2016.
He also drew syndicated editorial cartoons and the comic strip SCOOPS for newspapers in Canada and the U.S., and illustrated children's books. In 1969, he moved with his family to Orillia.
