Edward J Grug III (born 29 May 1980) is the pen name of Robert Forrest, an Australian cartoonist and comic writer: he took his pseudonym from Grug, the main character in a series of children's books by Ted Prior. He lives in Perth, Western Australia. Grug is best known for his webcomics.
Career[edit]
Grug's comics have appeared in various Australian small press anthologies, such as The Ink, Dreams of Tomorrow, and Something Wicked. However, he became best known for his webcomics. Grug was the artist for The Bizarre Life of Charlie Red-Eye, which was written as a fantastical autobiography by Matthew William Boyd Langfield Esq. and which launched on Modern Tales in April 2003.[1] Grug also created If Nobody Likes Me, Why am I So Popular?, a collection of fiction and non-fiction comics posted to his Livejournal as part of the Daily Grind Iron Man Challenge. His fiction comics tend to feature cute creatures involved in existential crises of various levels of severity while his non-fiction comics focus on his life and thoughts.
He is a proponent of the 24-hour comic as well and has participated in the 24 Hours in Oz Comics Challenge since 2003. His entry for 24 Hour Comics Day 2006 was chosen as one of the ten printed in that year's collection, edited by Nat Gertler.
He was the regular artist on the 2008 5-day-a-week webcomic series Sketchies, written by T Campbell and Phil Kahn.[2]
