Buster & Tappan Comics
My name is Steve Heimans and I am the creator of Buster & Tappan Comics, the home of the Universally known Buster & Tappan comic strip, the Jolly Corks, The Eggsperts and Cattitude Comic Strips. I was born in Alameda, CA in 1958, and for as long as I can remember, I have always drawn. I have been a Design Drafting Engineer on Geothermal Power Plants, I have illustrated for a college text book written by my college professor, Gary Lamit. I have illustrated the cover of a book written by Joe Nickaloff. I turned a “Dream” job down with Disney in Florida. Before I turned 50 years young, I set a goal for myself. It was to create a comic strip and get it published. Being a business owner was stressful and creating a comic strip was my release. I became published in two small independent newspapers and have done many works of art. Creating comes from my heart and soul, and now that I am a Grandfather (Bapa is new name), working on all of my comic strips have never been more important to me.
I don’t like to get political in my comics but sometimes they lean to the sign of the times. I want my strips to be read by young and old alike, I like to think of them as “Bad Dad Jokes”.
Enjoy!
