John Fardell
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Fardell is a British cartoonist and author.
He is a regular contributor to the adult comic Viz, and has created and drawn two of the most popular and long-running strips, The Modern Parents and The Critics, as well as the more recent addition of Ferdinand the Foodie. His work has a familiar tone of satirising various forms of the liberal elite. The Modern Parents, for example, portrays the way a mother and father try to bring up their young sons in as politically correct a way as possible, much to the detriment of their children.
Fardell is also the author and illustrator of two children's adventure novels: The Seven Professors of the Far North, published in 2004, and The Flight of the Silver Turtle, published in 2006.
Fardell lives in Edinburgh with his wife and two children.
