Anthony Ellison

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anthony Ellison is a New Zealand cartoonist. He has been the political cartoonist for the Sunday Star Times since 1988 and contributes a weekly cartoon, 'Mean Times' to the New Zealand Listener.[1] More recently he has produced the animated segment 'Media Dog' for the media satire show Eating Media Lunch. According to an interview with Chris Slane, Ellison doesn’t use story boards for his animations, "just writes a script, takes it into the recording studio and sees what happens"[2]. In addition to editorial cartoons he has also published adult minicomics, including 'Popeye has a Fuck' (1977),'Tard' (1998), and 'The Ray Gun Girl' (1999) which Pavement has described as "An unsettling mixture of Japanese school-girl eroticism, fifties ray-guns and haunting landscapes"[3]
