Lonnie Millsap Bio

Lonnie Millsap

From drawing Batman on his refrigerator at age 4 (and getting in trouble for it) to having his cartoons published in major publications, Lonnie Millsap has been making people laugh for decades.

Millsap turned his childhood passion of drawing on everything, into a career that includes publishing and selling books of cartoons, creating a syndicated comic strip, and having his work published in major publications. He's a two-time Reuben Award nominee (Online- Short Form) whose work has been praised by cartooning legends like Keith Knight, Gary Panter, Sergio Aragones, Dan Piraro and Jim Benton.

In 2025, Millsap was nominated for the prestigious Thurber Prize, and he will be a Special Guest at CXC (Cartoon Crossroads Columbus). When he's not creating his comic 'bacön' for GoComics.com, he's crafting single-panel cartoons that have been featured in The New Yorker Magazine over 90 times, and Playboy Magazine once...oh well.

What the Pros Say

"
"

I judge cartoon books on how many gags they have that I wish I'd come up with. This one has plenty and I hate Lonnie Millsap for that.

Dan Piraro

Creator of Bizarro

"

Funny, silly-assed cartoons drawn straight from the heart.

Jim Benton

Master of All Media

Lonnie manages to produce work that recalls Gary Larson's "the Far Side", without being a derivative wannabe. Funny gags! Funny drawings! What's not to like?

Keith Knight

I don't like comedy, or things that are out to make me laugh, which makes me a hard sell regarding comic gag books, yet, Lonnie Millsaps incredibly stupid jokes crack me up time after time, even though I can tell he's trying to make me laugh and I resent that.

Lonnie Millsap is very funny and he's new at this game. With time, he will put some cartoonists of work.
