meet the author!
"Joshua Masterson is super talented, professional, and punctual. So glad I hired him for my project. I'll be back again real soon!"
- Matt Fradd, Pints with Aquinas
Hey everyone, my name is Josh Masterson and I'm the Catholic Cartoonist! I'm one of 10 children - nine boys and one girl! I was homeschooled, along with my siblings, and we were all brought up in the Catholic Faith.
I always had a gift with drawing since I was young. God has blessed me tremendously and I desired to use my gift of art to glorify Him and edify His people!
Originally, I wanted to pursue my talents in sacred art. The kind of art you would see in a beautiful cathedral! But I've always been more partial towards cartooning. So, I thought- - - why couldn’t I make cartoons for Our Lord?
I truly hope Fr. Otto and friends will bring a smile and a laugh to you and I thank you for checking out the website!
God Bless you and keep you!
what is the catholic cartoon?
The Catholic Cartoon is a slice of life comic strip that follows the antics of a small town parish priest named Fr. Otto. He along with his parish experience all the fun and troubles of daily life!
The Catholic Cartoon is based on a real parish in Volo, Illinois - St. Peter Catholic Church! Several of the characters are based on actual people from this parish.
Much of the backgrounds and scenery from the comic strip were drawn as similar to the real St. Peter's as possible- - -like the boy's and priest's sacristy as well as the surrounding neighborhood of the church!

My hope for the Catholic cartoon
My hope for The Catholic Cartoon is that it will show the every day life of Catholics and the joys and happiness found in such a life. I hope even more that these cartoons will share the Catholic Faith that I love so very much to those who know little of it or want to know more about it.
I pray that even just a little bit of Our Lord's goodness be shown through Fr. Otto and his little parish.
