The world of his strip, "The City," is populated by ordinary street people -- the strange, the lost and doomed -- and characters of broad political stereotype. His own 
decidely left-leaning worldview results in a scorched-earth brand of humor that leave his subjects more than singed.
Backderf -- who goes by Derf -- attended Ohio State University, where he drew political cartoons for the school paper, The Lantern.
His "The City" comic strip started in The Cleveland Edition in 1990. After that paper folded, Derf helped found The Free Times, which was his cartoon base from 1993 to 2001. From 2001 to this year, his strip ran in Scene. "The City" has appeared in more than 100 papers and is part of Universal Press' stable of webcomics at GoComics.com.
