PECKHAM Tim

PECKHAM Tim

This former Newfoundlander was a computer graphics artist and newspaper designer working in the Toronto Sun’s art department when in 1992 he created “TIM WITS”. Producing 30 panels a month and sending them to various syndicates, he worked on this feature through 1992 and into 1997. It would appear that his illustrating the columns of various journalists increased to the point where he didn’t have time for this feature. In 1999, he added illustrating Steven Smith’s (aka Red Green) comment column to his other duties.

In 2010, he selected 212 of the “TIM WIT” panels and posted them over time on Apple’s App Store. At that time, he was still working in the Toronto Sun art department.
