Joe Ollmann

Joe Ollmann (born March 25, 1966, in Hamilton, Ontario) is a Canadian cartoonist. Ollmann's cartooning style has been described as "scratchy angular angry big steaming slice-of-life comics” and the cartoonist Seth has called Ollmann “one of our medium’s great writers.”

Ollmann grew up on a Christmas tree farm near Hamilton, Ontario and self-published his first 3-issue comic book series, ''Dirty Nails Comics'', beginning in 1988. He contributed cartoons to The Hamilton Spectator in the early 1990s, and had a long-running strip in Exclaim! magazine. He began publishing short comics stories in his own self-published anthology series ''Wag!'' in 1991, continuing for 9 issues to 2004 and compiled in ''The Big Book of Wag!'' (Conundrum Press, 2005). Insomniac Press published his first original collection of short stories in 2002 as ''Chewing on Tinfoil''. Provided by Wikipedia
