Michael Fischer Cartoon Artist Bio

TOONS ON-ICE Hockey is an original sports property created by Cartoon Artist Michael Fischer to show the humerous side of the sport he's loved since childhood, NHL Ice Hockey! Michael Fischer’s cartoon journey began in his hometown of St. Louis Missouri when he was born January 9th, 1963 wearing ice skates and a guitar.

In retrospect, Michael started his art career pushing a crayola crayon watching Underdog and Looney Tunes on TV religiously every morning at 6am long before Wayne Gretzky hit the ice.

Mike began his love for NHL Hockey in 1969 after his Uncle Gene flipped on a St. Louis Blues game on television. Michael's passion for hockey was born watching hero's such as Gary Unger, the late Bob Gassoff, and the infamous Plager Brothers. There were more characters in The NHL in the 1970's than in the classic movie Slap Shot.

Over two decades later, Mike created TOONS ON-ICE Comics in the late 1980's inspired by the killer hockey buzz Wayne Gretzky had spread across the west coast when he joined The Los Angeles Kings. In a matter of time, Hockey Cartoons took over Mike's career and his onslaught of Hockey Humor began!

It's Mike's dream as one of the worlds only Hockey Cartoon Artists to turn every Walmart into an Ice Hockey Rink so you can bodycheck some gomer into the Jeff Gordon Beer Cooler Display in aisle twelve!

Like all gifted artists in search of, with a little luck and the right pioneer contact, who knows. Maybe one day you'll see an animated version of TOONS ON-ICE Hockey on the big screen and you can say “Hey, I remember when that dude took the time to e-mail me... now he's syndicated and published and flying first class on Hooters Air to his own tropical private rink island with his dog." ( Running up and down the eisle for a Scooby Snack ).

...And all in spirit of Coach Dad of course!
