John Atkinson lives in Ottawa, Canada. He is a voracious reader of cereal boxes, microwave instructions, and subtext. John is plagued by a recurring dream where he misses the Renaissance because of car trouble. He also claims to have coined the phrase, “I had a banana on the train,” which everyone tells him isn't really an expression. John's cartoon Wrong Hands has been featured in numerous online and print publications worldwide and can be seen regularly in Time Magazine.
