Born in Venlo, Holland in 1950, Gerry Hummel immigrated with his family to Canada in 1953. Gerry lived most of his life in Kitimat BC. While working at the local paper mill and raising two children as a single dad, he began working as a self-taught editorial cartoonist for the local paper in 1993. In 1995, he and the paper got sued by a local politician for being too honest(!). After that, the paper restricted his artistic freedom to such an extent that he was unable to continue working with them. After that, he continued drawing political cartoons and caricatures for specific causes, always taking the side of the little guy, the down-trodden, and the oppressed.
