Unger began the strip in the Mississauga Times Newspaper in Mississauga, Ont. He moved to Ottawa and in 1974, the strip was picked up for syndication by Universal Press. It became an international hit.
Unger was born in London, U.K., and held jobs as a London bobby, dock worker and repo-man before moving to Canada and beginning his cartooning career.
He had rtetired to the Bahamas in 1992, but returned to Canada about 10 years ago.
I've gotten a laugh out of lots of his work!
