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 magazines.
The Phoenix
He is known for his children's cartoon series
Bunny VS. Monkey,
running in The Phoenix,
created originally by Smart for a TV show.
Other strips he has worked on at The Phoenix include
Megalomaniacs, a repurposed The Dandy comic,
Battlesuit Bea and
Looshkin.
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.
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 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.
Self-published comics include Moose Kid Comics, a free online all-ages anthology.
