Anders Morgenthaler (born December 5, 1972) is a Danish comics artist, children's book author, and film director.

Biography

Morgenthaler is a graduate of Designskolen i Kolding and The National Film School of Denmark. Having worked as a TV host on the Danish TV channel DR's children's show "KatjaKaj og BenteBent", and directed several music videos, he eventually directed the feature film "Princess" in 2006, earning him a "Nordisk Film Award".

Prior to this, comic strip "Wulffmorgenthaler" produced in collaboration with comedian Mikael Wulff, brought attention and success in 2001. A comic strip competition entry named "Kalzone", completed few hours before the entry deadline, submitted under the pseudonym "Pernille Richter Andersson", led to victory in the competition, and a one month run in the national newspaper "Politiken".cite web | last =DR.dk | title = Anders Morgenthaler | url =http://dr.dk/Tema/Tegneserier/Dommerpanel/20070118185842.htm|language=Danish] The strip became a regular feature on DR's internet culture portal in 2002, and in October 2003 it became a daily newspaper strip in "Politiken".cite web | last =komiks.dk | title = Gæstelisten | url =http://www.komiks.dk/2004/DK/01_gaester.html|language=Danish] Due to the unusually uninhibited and adult nature of the strip, this led to disgruntled reader reactions and cancelled subscriptions for Politiken, but the strip remained. It later became syndicated to Swedish tabloid newspaper "Aftonbladet" in 2006.cite web | last =Politiken | title = Wulffmorgenthaler indtager Sverige | date =2006-10-15 | url =http://politiken.dk/udland/article186361.ece |language=Danish] English versions of the strip also feature as a popular webcomic, and TV shows centered around the recurring character "Dolph", a blue fascist hippopotamus, has been produced in various incarnations on DR.
