About the Cartoonist
Robt. F Snyder doesn't remember when he first fell in love with cartoons and comics, but he remembers singing "Here Comes the Bride" the night his parents pulled into his grandmother's driveway with his brand new, hot off the spinner rack copy of Justice League of America No. 92. He remembers as a kid laughing out loud reading Peanuts paperback collections and Scroogie and "The Black and Blue Hawks" from the Brothers Mad. There's something to these lines, these shapes and colors, these stripped down abstractions of real life, he told himself back when he used to talk to himself regularly, and he wanted to be a part of it.
At 22, he was contributing editorial cartoons to the Baltimore Sun, for which he won several journalism awards. His editorial cartoons have since been syndicated by Artizans Entertainment and have appeared in newspapers in Florida, West Virginia, New Hampshire, New Jersey, and Canada. His comic book, Kid Terrific, which he created with high school pal Joe Diliberto, was published by Image Comics in 1998, while a comic strip he created with buddy John Whelan called Way Out West ran on Arizona Highways online edition in the first few years of the new millennium. He's also drawn a number of chapters for Paradox Press's "Big Book of..." series.
He still hasn't outgrown his love for the Sunday funnies, for comic books, for animated cartoons, or for political cartoons. Hence, this web site.
He is currently employed as city editor at the Frederick News-Post in Frederick, Md. He shares an apartment with a fat cat who snores.
