Born in Nunavut in 1952 he quickly emigrated to America. His mother was a short-order cook and his father was a retired groupie. He attended Bennington College during the 1960s. Drawing on his experiences at the prestigious College he soon began drawing cartoons. To pay the bills he became a lawyer. He married his former teacher, Betty Ford. Trudeau spent lots of time in prestigious company, and slowly climbed his way up the social ladder, sometimes literally stabbing backs to get what he wanted. After his lawyer days started to bore him he decided to become a cartoonist, based on a bar bet one night with L. Ron Hubbard that 'I couldn't tell the story of liberal America in cartoons over the next forty years.'
