TOONS ON-ICE Hockey Artist MICHAEL FISCHER Bio TOONS ON-ICE Hockey is an original sports property created by Cartoon Artist Michael Fischer to show the humerous side of the sport he's loved since childhood, NHL Ice Hockey! Michael Fischer’s cartoon journey began in his hometown of St. Louis Missouri when he was born January 9th, 1963 wearing ice skates and a guitar. In retrospect, he started his art career pushing a crayola crayon watching Underdog and Looney Tunes on TV religiously every morning at 6am . Mike began his love for NHL Hockey in 1969 after his Uncle Gene flipped on a St. Louis Blues game on television. Michael's passion for hockey was born watching hero's such as Gary Unger, the late Bob Gassoff, and the infamous Plager Brothers. There were more characters in The NHL in the 1970's than in the classic movie Slap Shot. Over two decades later, Mike created TOONS ON-ICE Comics in the late 1980's inspired by the killer hockey buzz Wayne Gretzky had spread across the west coast when he joined The Los Angeles Kings. In a matter of time, Hockey Cartoons took over Mike's career and his onslaught of Hockey Humor began!
