Tony Lopes developed a passion for cartooning as a child, while most other children his age were outside playing, Lopes preferred sitting in his enclosure studying the art from Warner Bros. cartoons and drawing silly little pictures.

He commenced drawing Insanity Streak on a weekly basis in 1992 and mailed out countless samples. Over time, Insanity Streak has not only grown in popularity with readers, but with colleagues as well.

To date his work is published in over 15 countries including England, Ireland, Norway, Brazil, Denmark, Bangkok, New Zealand, Malaysia and even Iceland.
