"I like cats and thought the poem was fun & funny!"

Gary Dumm has loved cartoons and comics ever since he was a child. His mom taught him to read using comics as well as books.

And he learned that he could get attention from other kids in grade school by showing them his drawings. Later, in high school, he found that was also a way to draw attention from girls. The practice of drawing is who he is.

Combining words with pictures is a challenging but fun way to make a living. He has worked with a lot of talented writers, especially Harvey Pekar on his autobiographical comic series "American Splendor" and Scott MacGregor on our graphic novel "Fire On The Water." They've inspired him to hone his craft every day.

Telling a story with art is what he aims to do with every image he has created. More recently he has worked with his wife Laura on their series of large and colorful environmental and socio-political paintings. But he will forever continue to work on comics in glorious black-and-white.
