Greg Peters

Greg Peters (September 24, 1962, in Marquette, Michigan – August 2, 2013, in Jefferson, Louisiana) was an American editorial cartoonist best known for his détournement-based comic strips "Suspect Device" and "Snake Oil".

Professional life Peters began producing "Suspect Device" in 1996, when he was working at the Times of Acadiana as a graphic designer and his editor asked him to produce a cartoon about gambling. "Suspect Device" appeared in the Times until 1998, when — in the wake of a dispute with his publisher over whether to publish an installment of "Suspect Device" that might offend an advertiser— both resigned;

In 2004, Peters participated in an exhibition at the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art.

In their 2007 awards, the National Newspaper Association ranked Peters second in the category "Best Original Editorial Cartoon (non-daily)".

Personal life Peters moved to Louisiana in 1990, after he discovered that graduate school applications fees were cheaper there. whose reuse of copyrighted graphics has been described as "the foundation for Suspect Devices format". and throughout his life underwent multiple surgeries to correct this.
