John Atkinson is the face (and hands) of Wrong Hands cartoons. You may recognise his inimitable style from various re-posts on social media. John lives in Ottawa, Canada where he comes up with his hilarious and often genius jokes and puns on language, literature, and popular culture. His work can be seen in all over various publications including TIME magazine.
We have collated a handful of his more literary-focussed cartoons for your enjoyment, but don’t forget to visit his website (linked above) for more!
