John Fardell (born 1967)[1] is an English cartoonist, and author and illustrator of children's books.

Work

Fardell has been 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[2] and The Critics, and also Ferdinand the Foodie and Desert Island Teacher. His strip The Modern Parents portrays the way a mother and father insist on bringing up their young sons by following a doctrine they term "ethical awareness", much to the children's detriment.[2] He also contributed illustrations and comic strips to 1990s video game magazine Electric Brain.[3]

Fardell is also an author and illustrator of children's books. To date he has produced three children's adventure novels: The Seven Professors of the Far North (2004),[4] The Flight of the Silver Turtle (2006), and The Secret of the Black Moon Moth (2009) – and three children's picture books: Manfred the Baddie (2008),[2] Jeremiah Jellyfish Flies High (2010), and The Day Louis Got Eaten (2011).
