Malc McGookin began cartooning as a teenager working for the Ardrossan and Saltcoats Herald in Scotland. By 18 he had his first regular feature in the British weekly magazine, Tit-Bits . In the late 1970s. After attending college to develop an animation showreel, Malcolm undertook a career at Cosgrove Hall, starting out as an animation assistant, later to become a Key Animator and scriptwriter, a period he still refers to as "the best six years of my professional life". Malcolm emigrated to Australia as an animator and scriptwriter for various TV series, a move he came to regret, later referencing his employers as "the worst TV cartoon producers in the history of the world". Nevertheless, Malcolm loved Australia itself and moved to Queensland, where he returned to drawing gag cartoons and comic strips. To date, his clients have included magazines such as Prospect and Private Eye as well as the now defunct News Of The World and many other Fleet Street papers. Malc presently works as an editorial cartoonist for the Sunday Mail in Brisbane, as well as producing animation for international corporate clients.

A cartoon is a type of visual art that is typically drawn, frequently animated, in an unrealistic or semi-realistic style. The specific meaning has evolved, but the modern usage usually refers to either: an image or series of images intended for satire, caricature, or humor; or a motion picture that relies on a sequence of illustrations for its animation. Someone who creates cartoons in the first sense is called a cartoonist, and in the second sense they are usually called an animator.
