Cartoonists differ from comics writers or comic book illustrators in that they produce both the literary and graphic components of the work as part of their practice. Cartoonists may work in a variety of formats, including booklets, comic strips, comic books, editorial cartoons, graphic novels, User guide, manuals, gag cartoons, storyboards, posters, shirts, books, advertisements, greeting cards, magazines, newspapers, webcomics, and video game packaging.

Chester Brown
Chester William David Brown (born 16 May 1960) is a Canadian cartoonist. Brown has gone through several stylistic and thematic periods. He gained notice in alternative comics circles in the 1980s for the surreal, scatological ''Ed the Happy Clown'' serial. After bringing ''Ed'' to an abrupt end, he delved into confessional autobiographical comics in the early 1990s and was strongly associated with fellow Toronto-based cartoonists Seth and Joe Matt, and the contemporary autobiographical comics trend. Two graphic novels came from this period: '' The Playboy'' (1992) and '' I Never Liked You'' (1994). Surprise mainstream success in the 2000s came with ''Louis Riel'' (2003), a historical-biographical graphic novel about rebel Métis leader Louis Riel. '' Paying for It'' (2011) drew controversy as a polemic in support of decriminalizing prostitution, a theme he explored further with '' Mary Wept Over the Feet of Jesus'' (2016), a book of adaptations of stories from the Bible that ...
