John Fardell

John Fardell

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 additions of "Ferdinand the Foodie" and "Desert Island Teacher". 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.
