ABOUT THE ARTIST: Jim Unger (21 January 1937 – 26 May 2012) was a British-born Canadian cartoonist, best known for his syndicated comic strip HERMAN which ran for 18 years in 600 newspapers in 25 countries. Unger was born in London, England, to Lillian Maud and James Unger. Unger served in the British Army, was enrolled as a London Bobby, and worked as an insurance clerk and a Repo Man before emigrating to Canada in 1968 at the suggestion of one of his sisters. He began his career as a cartoonist at the Mississauga Times newspaper. In 1974, as Herman became popular, Unger moved from Mississauga to Ottawa, Ontario, bringing his parents and brother from Britain. Unger moved to the Bahamas in 1984 and retired as a cartoonist in 1992. Unger’s friends encouraged him to give up retirement, so he returned to Canada in his last years, settling in Saanich, Vancouver Island, British Columbia.
