Jamie Smart
For the British author, see Jamie Smart (author).

Jamie Smart (born 21 July 1978) is a British comic artist and author best known for his comic series Bunny vs Monkey and his 10-issue comic series Bear. Most of his modern comics run through The Phoenix magazine.

The Phoenix

[edit]

He is known for his children's cartoon series Bunny VS. Monkey,[1][2] running in The Phoenix,[3][4] created originally by Smart for a TV show.[5] Other strips he has worked on at The Phoenix include Megalomaniacs, a repurposed The Dandy comic,[6] Battlesuit Bea and Looshkin.

The Dandy

[edit]

He was instrumental in the design of the October 2010 revamp of The Dandy and designing the new logos. For the revamp, Smart drew Desperate Dan, Pre-Skool Prime Minister, Arena of Awesome, My Dad's a Doofus (as well as many others) with reprints of My Own Genie and Space Raoul later being used.[7][8] His blue blobs have been part of The Dandy cover since October 2010 and appeared in The Digital Dandy during its run.

For the final print edition of The Dandy on its 75th anniversary, Jamie Smart drew the special cover as well as drawing My Own Genie, My Dad's a Doofus, Pre-Skool Prime Minister and My Teacher's a Walrus in the Top 75 Countdown. A reprint from The Arena of Awesome was also used.

Other comics

[edit]

Smart drew The Numskulls and Kingo Bango for the relaunched Digital Dandy until its demise. Smart also appeared regularly in The Beano drawing puzzle pages and took over drawing Roger the Dodger from Barrie Appleby, which as of April 2014, he no longer draws. He also drew a new strip for the comic called El Poco Loco in 2013.

In 2015, Smart started to publish his megalomaniac comics on the now defunct children's social media app PopJam.[6] It's unclear if the comics published were reused from the dandy or original.

Self-published comics include Moose Kid Comics, a free online all-ages anthology.[9][10][11]

In October 2019,[12] Smart's first illustrated novel, Flember: The Secret Book was released by David Fickling Books, which had previously published his collections of "Bunny VS Monkey" and "Looshkin".[13] This was followed by the release of Flember: The Crystal Caves and Flember: The Glowing Skull. Jamie smart also wrote the webcomic "Corporate Skull, which was published on The Guardian newspaper website.[14]
