About

John Hopkins is the brains behind Lost Cactus. The award-winning Lost Cactus – The First Treasury and his new book, Lost Cactus – The Second Treasury are available in bookstores, comics shops and online in both print and ebook formats. John’s caffeine-fueled imagination—and gift for seeing the comically absurd in almost anything—provide the grist for his Lost Cactus plots and extensive backstory. Weaving an eclectic mix of sci-fi, paranormal, and technology-fueled content with cultural, political, and celebrity-focused storylines, his comic strip has been favorably compared to Pogo and Calvin & Hobbes.  In addition to the hilarious comic strips, John expands upon the Lost Cactus lore with a shared universe of science fiction short stories, humorous essays, paintings, sketches, and extensive liner notes propelling his treasuries beyond the typical comics compilations found in the humor sections at the local bookstores.
