Steve Nease is a Canadian editorial and comic strip cartoonist based in Oakville, Ontario, Canada. He was born and raised in Woodbridge, Ontario.
Career[edit]
His career has spanned over 30 years, many of which were spent as Art Director of the Oakville Beaver. Since 2008 he has worked independently.[1] He is most noted for his award-winning political and editorial cartoons,[2] and his family comic strip, "Pud", based on the lives of the artist and his family.[3][4]
He has also found success as a freelance illustrator, most notably Real Stories from the Rink by Brian MacFarlane.[5]
In July 2016 Nease reestablished his long-time relationship with the Oakville Beaver and other Halton community newspapers, which have resumed publishing his editorial cartoons and comic strips after a hiatus of 8 years.[6]
In 2022, Hiawatha First Nation Chief Laurie Carr criticized a Nease cartoon depicting Indigenous leaders demanding a payout from Pope Francis after his apology for Canadian Indian residential schools. Nease and Metroland Media managing editor Adam Martin-Robbins subsequently issued apologies.[7]
