Who is Chuck Ingwersen

Chuck grew up loving to draw and creating greeting cards that made his family and friends laugh. “I constantly drew as a kid, and I’ve hand-drawn countless funny greeting cards for friends and families ever since I was very young.” This childhood interest is what he is manifesting currently. The cartoonist formerly worked as a newspaper journalist. He was an editor, columnist, page designer, and reporter. But for his passion for arts, he left his job to become a freelance cartoonist and webcomic. In 2008, he created the webcomic Words of Toons for humor writings and cartoons. Subsequently, he made Captain Scratchy. According to him, he primarily uses animals because of his love for the animal kingdom.
