Critics Review
“Being a single parent is no joke, but Derek M Ballard’s hilarious graphic novel memoir, Cartoonshow, gets plenty of laughs in anyway. …Even though he’s barely treading water, Ballard is still able to deliver a cathartic and hopeful experience to readers through his keen sense of humor and defiant tenacity, all on full chaotic display in Ballard’s signature frenzied illustration style, vividly bringing to life this tumultuous story.” – New York Public Library, Top 5 Comic Strip Collections of 2023
“I laughed and cried, y’all these are the real $@#% journal comics. Drawings that could slay a dragon. Every punchline a funny knife in your eye.” – - Pendleton Ward
Derek M. Ballard
Derek M Ballard is, first and foremost, a single parent of three kids in Gainesville, Florida. Sometimes after he takes the kids to school and cooks dinner he’s lucky enough to get work on cartoons for Cartoon Network, Netflix, or HBO. Most recently he was the lead background designer on Mystery Cuddlers for Adult Swim. His book CARTOONSHOW from Oni Press was selected by the LA Times as one of their top five graphic novels of 2023. But mostly he’s just a plain old dad, tbh.
