Biography

Chuck Temple - Co-creator (Illustrator): began his career at the age of 18 when his first comic strip, "Bernie on the Beat" went into syndication. At the time he was one of the youngest syndicated cartoonists in the world. Chuck also teamed up with Rick Broadhead, a best-selling author and internet consultant, to develop the comic feature, E-trivia, which was accepted for syndication by United Media in New York. Along with David Chilton, Chuck created The Wealthy Barber calendar, which sold over 2.5 million copies. Chuck has a degree in fine art from The University of Guelph and has studied at the Ontario College of Art. His favourite cartoonist and creative inspiration comes from Bill Watterson, creator of Calvin and Hobbes.

In a unique combination of pen and mouse, his work embraces the latest technology and software to bring Brady Brady and other creations to life. All cartoons are produced digitally in Photoshop/Illustrator/Streamline on a Mac platform. Chuck continues to develop the Brady Brady series. He also enjoys coaching and playing hockey.
