Richard Short
A cartoonist with a taste for the funny, melancholy, and slightly strange, this creator is best known for the comic world of Klaus. His work plays with the rhythms of classic newspaper strips while heading somewhere distinctly offbeat and personal.

About the author
Richard Short is a cartoonist and comics creator known for Klaus and Haway Man, Klaus!. In material published by Breakdown Press, Haway Man, Klaus! is described as the first full-length collection of strips about Klaus, a thoughtful anthropomorphic cat, and the book is framed as both a nod to classic comic-strip traditions and something more unusual in tone.
In an interview with The Comics Journal, Short talks about building stories through comics, keeping the work clear rather than deliberately obscure, and following the emotional logic of the strip. That mix of gentle humor, melancholy, and oddness seems to be a big part of what makes his work memorable.
Publicly available sources in this search gave only limited biographical detail beyond his comics work, so this overview focuses on the projects and themes that could be confirmed.
