Brian McFadden Editorial Cartoons

McFadden grew up in Brockton, Mass., and studied mechanical engineering at Johns Hopkins University, during which time he began publishing cartoons online. After developing a weekly comic strip called Big Fat Whale, his work ran in alternative newspapers across the United States. Another comic of McFadden’s, The Strip, runs in The New York Times Sunday Review.
