Raising Duncan is created by Chris Browne, an accomplished comic artist who grew up in Wilton, Connecticut, in the unique world of cartoonists and their families. His father was cartoonist Dik Browne, creator of Hagar the Horrible. Art supplies were his toys and his parents were his best friends. As a teenager, Browne assisted his father on his comic strips and continued to work with him until he passed away in 1989. During this time Browne also drew cartoons for the National Lampoon, where editor Sean Kelly dubbed him the magazine's "Token Good Taste Cartoonist." He went on to sell cartoons to Esquire, Heavy Metal, Playboy and The New Yorker. Raising Duncan is inspired by Browne's love for his wife, Carroll, and for their 11 year-old Scottish Terrier, MacDuff. "There has been a trend in the comics lately towards cynicism," says Browne. "Raising Duncan runs like the wind in the other direction. It's all about love, family, understanding and acceptance - the warm places we find for each other in a cold world." Like the characters he has created, Browne lives and works in Sarasota, Florida. When not working on Raising Duncan or waiting for his muse to inspire, Browne can be found prowling local bookstores, quaffing cappuccinos and walking the dog. The real one, that is.
