This nonworksafe image — and the “censored,” work-safe thumbnail posted at left — was created exclusively for BoingBoing’s SARS digital art series by acclaimed artist Dave Cooper, creator of the Harvey Award-nominated graphic novel Suckle: The Status of Basil (Fantagraphics, 1996).
Cooper has been busy in recent years: at one point, he was simultaneously creating three different serials for various anthologies: “Dan & Larry” in Dark Horse Presents, “Crumple” in Zero Zero, and the all-ages “Pip & Norton,” published in a wide array of publications. Each of these three serials feature divergent styles and display a range of cartooning that Cooper is currently showcasing in his ongoing quarterly series WEASEL.
In addition to comics, he has created designs for animated television series, most notably Matt Groening’s Futurama. David Charles Cooper lives in Ottawa, Canada, with his wife, Julie. He makes his living in cartoon design, magazine illustration, & through the sale of original comicbook artwork & his fine art oil paintings.
