“I have seen what a laugh can do. It can transform almost unbearable tears into something bearable, even hopeful,” Bob Hope once beautifully said, and Bill Whitehead’s comics probably could be very good proof of that. 

Bill’s journey with humor began back in 5th grade when he started drawing cartoons by copying New Yorker comics, already proving that laughter can be the best medicine. After years of freelancing for various publications, he spent 23 years at Hallmark, crafting witty and heartfelt greeting cards. 

Now, he pours his creativity into Free Range—tiny, one-panel comics where each cartoon becomes a unique little world of its own.

Bill explained that he prefers making single-panel cartoons because the other formats are too confusing. A single-panel cartoon reminds him of a tiny movie direction where just one single scene has to bring the maximum effectiveness. 

With his great passion for drawing and humor, the artist has developed his very own style and always tries to get the best performance out of the characters with their facial expressions and body language.
