Johan Wanloo

Usually this includes snobs and people with radical political beliefs. He greatly dislikes Goth and indie culture and claims that he has "the musical taste of a 60-year old". He is a fan of retro-kitsch and likes to incorporate this into his work. Many of his comics are parodies/homages of old pulp fiction and he has even done a number of strips where he alters original artwork to make new stories.

Wanloo mostly does strips featuring himself where he comments on society, but he has also created a number of original characters including • De äventyrslystna karlakarlarna (The adventurous manly-men) A parody of classic pulp fiction starring the two famous "alpha males" Felix Gimlet and El Fjongo. Felix is the playboy genius while Fjongo is a wrestler who always wears a Lucha libre-style mask. • Örn Blammo A violent, possibly psychotic government agent who saves the world alongside his two kid sidekicks. • Farbror Einar (Uncle Einar) Comic strip about a grumpy, sadistic old man. • Kapten Klara A relatively straightforward children's comic series about the adventurous eye-patched sea captain Klara and her anthropomorph crocodile friend Harry, aboard the submarine Gudrun. • Fwedewic • Roy vid Rymdkommandot (Roy at Space-command) • Rock Manlyfist - Master of Space Karate On a personal level, Wanloo once said that his idol is Charlton Heston. Despite being nearly 2 meters tall, he usually draws himself quite short. He used to be heavily into splatter films.
