John Callahan was a cartoonist who often drew on his own struggles, including paraplegia and recovering alcoholism, for his unique brand of humor. His work was characterized by sharp irony and an unflinching look at human frailties. Callahan's distinctive style challenged conventional sensibilities, offering unexpected and raw insights into life. His satirical observations left an indelible mark on the world of comics.
