Edward J. Grug

Edward J Grug III (born May 29, 1980) is the pen name of Robert Forrest, an Australian cartoonist and comic writer: he takes his pseudonym from Grug, the main character in a series of children's books by Ted Prior. He lives in Perth, Western Australia.
Grug's comics have appeared in Australian small press anthologies such as The Ink, Dreams of Tomorrow, and Something Wicked, but he is best known for his webcomics: he is the artist for "The Bizarre Life of Charlie Red-Eye," appearing at Modern Tales, and creates "If Nobody Likes Me, Why am I So Popular?", a collection of fiction and non-fiction comics posted to his Livejournal as part of the Daily Grind Iron Man Challenge. His fiction comics tend to feature cute creatures involved in existential crises of various levels of severity while his non-fiction comics focus on his life and thoughts.
He is a proponent of the 24 hour comic as well and has participated in the 24 Hours in Oz Comics Challenge since 2003.
He's the current artist for the daily comic "Sketchies"
