ⓘ About John Callahan
Cartoonist, musician, and artist John Callahan often drew on his personal struggles (he was both an alcoholic and a paraplegic) for humor. He was born February 5, 1951 and died July 24, 2010. He died due to respiratory problems after an operation for chronic bed sores. John was survived by his mother (Rosemary) and four siblings (Kevin, Teri, Mary, and Richard), who all live around Portland. Callahan turned to drawing cartoons for emotional ventilation. Like pal Gary Larson, John made drawings with a gleeful appreciation of a lot of the macabre he saw in everyday life. Because of his handicap, his art style was simple and sometimes rough, although was always legible. It has been compared to such artists as James Thurber, Ben Wicks, William Steig, and Richard Condie. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Non-Fiction Books series, John Callahan has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
