About John McPherson and Close to Home:
Born and raised in Painted Post, N.Y. (we didn’t make that up), John McPherson is a graduate from Bucknell University with a Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering. He worked for seven years as a design engineer and began moonlighting his way to a thriving freelance cartooning career as a regular contributor to The Saturday Evening Post, Campus Life, Yankee, Christianity Today and more than 30 other national magazines. In 1990, McPherson left the engineering field and took to cartooning full time. He created Close To Home in 1992. Famous for its offbeat, irreverent glimpses of home life, marriage, kids, school, the workplace, and medicine, the comic strip was picked up by Universal Press and now appears in more than 650 papers worldwide. Close To Home calendars sold nearly 150,000 copies in 2004. There are 12 Close To Home collections in print including three Chicken Soup for the Soul collections and a top-selling line of cards by Recycled Paper Products. John McPherson is a professional speaker on the subject of cartooning appearing at various events around the country. John now resides in Saratoga Springs, N.Y.
