Marcus Owen served 20 years as a classroom teacher, for a crime he didn't commit... He has always illustrated cartoons throughout his teaching career, to both aid his lessons and to alleviate tiresome staff meetings! He has illustrated, in cartoon form, the kind of things teachers say in staff rooms, but aren't supposed to! He enjoys aardvark wrestling., cheese sculpture, collecting monkey shoes and making up ridiculous facts. Despite his disillusion with teaching, he has, in full truth, always valued the children in his care.
