Greg Evans (cartoonist)

Greg Evans (born November 13, 1947)[1] is an American cartoonist and the creator of the syndicated comic strip Luann.

In 100 Years of American Newspaper Comics, Dennis Wepman wrote that Evans "taught junior and senior high school art in his native California, worked as promotion manager and graphic artist for a TV station in Colorado, and entertained with a robot at trade shows and fairs before he sold Luann to News America Syndicate in 1984.

Prior to Luann, Evans published the comic strip Fogarty, distributed free to high school newspapers.

With his wife Betty he has three children, including daughter Karen, whose own experiences as a teenager influenced Luann.

Evans and his wife eventually met Rhonda, whose story was told in an episode of the PAX-TV series, It's a Miracle.
