Jamie Smart (born 21 July 1978) is a British comic artist and author best known for his 10-issue comic series Bear.[1][2]

Bunny vs. Monkey

He is known for his children's cartoon Bunny VS. Monkey,[3][4] created originally by Smart for a TV show,[5] and Megalomaniacs, Battlesuit Bea and Looshkin for The Phoenix.

The Dandy

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.[6][7] 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

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 draws a new strip called El Poco Loco.

Self-published comics include Moose Kid Comics, a free online all-ages anthology. [8][9][10]

In October 2019,[11] 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".[12] This was followed by the release of Flember: The Crystal Caves and Flember: The Glowing Skull
