Vic Keppel has been teaching Biology and Physics in New Zealand for many years.
“Working in a school is like being in a time-machine… everyone stays the same age, but I get older and older!”
When his ‘dry’ wit, elicits groans from High-school seniors, he senses cartoon potential.
Beyond “Biology”, which ran for 9 years in a leading New Zealand daily, Vic also created “Gumboot Man”, based on an NZ laconic farmer icon, and “Uncle Mel”, flea-market proprietor.
Extracts from both strips are included in the Galleries section.
