Tom Batiuk
Thomas Martin "Tom" Batiuk (born March 14, 1947) is an American comic strip creator, best known for his long-running newspaper strip ''Funky Winkerbean''.
Born in Akron, Ohio, Batiuk attended Kent State University, from which he graduated in 1969 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, majoring in painting. He went on to teach art in junior high school. He put his experiences to use in his gag-a-day ''Funky Winkerbean'', which first appeared in print on March 27, 1972. With the success of the strip, he abandoned his teaching career, occasionally returning to the classroom to refresh his sources. He authored two spinoff strips, ''John Darling,'' which ran from 1979 through 1990, and ''Crankshaft,'' which began syndication in 1987. These strips sometimes experience crossovers.〔
Over the years, Batiuk's strips have taken on an increasing narrative continuity. Starting in 1986, ''Funky'', and to a lesser extent ''Crankshaft'', sometimes abandoned humor to explore serious, even tragic subject matter.
His stories often involve strong drama elements combined with generally rosy outcomes. They also show a strong belief in God, as well as sympathies for the American military. On the other hand, ''Funky Winkerbean'' dealt very critically with Intelligent Design,〔''(Funky Winkerbean takes on ID )'', Richard B. Hoppe, 2004〕〔''(Science and Religion in Funky Winkerbean )'' 2004〕 and two students in the strip even did a pro-evolution take-off on Johnny Hart's ''B.C.''〔''Funky Winkerbean'', strip for 2004 September 1〕
