Meet Chip Dunham
Chip Dunham is the creator of the comic strip "Overboard." Set on a pirate ship, "Overboard" explores the sensitive side of plundering and pillaging through the daily misadventures of its clever crew of malcontents, incompetents, and laggards. “After 20 years of drawing and writing 'Overboard,' I still approach it with the energy of my first week of doing it,” Dunham said. “It’s the most fun job in the world, and I hope some of that feeling still jumps out at the reader."
A Wisconsin native, Dunham started his cartooning career in his 20s with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and The New Yorker. Discouraged by the workload, Dunham halted cartooning and enrolled in the University of Wisconsin, graduating with a degree in journalism in 1980. Taking a hiatus from cartooning to explore careers in reporting and commercial painting, Dunham returned to cartooning in 1989, when he developed "Overboard," which earned a Best Comic Strip nomination from the National Cartoonists Society. He now lives in Detroit with his dog, Sam.
