Tim Buckley (comics)


Tim Buckley is an American webcomic artist and writer. He is best known for creating the gaming webcomic Ctrl+Alt+Del. Buckley lives in Secaucus, New Jersey with his wife and two children.

Career

Buckley launched his webcomic Ctrl+Alt+Del in 2002, which mixes video game humor with dramatic storylines. He has mentioned using current video game trends and his personal experiences as inspiration.
Buckley often listens to reader feedback and has used it to guide story changes in the comic, and even allowed readers to vote on how the story should proceed.
A 2008 Ctrl+Alt+Del strip titled "Loss", about the protagonist suffering a miscarriage, led to much discussion and derision online over the jarring shift in tone and has become a popular and enduring internet meme.
In January 2003, Buckley introduced a gaming holiday called Winter-een-mas in his comic. Ubisoft celebrated it in 2011 by offering discounts on purchases of digital download games from their web store.

Awards and nominations

In 2004 and 2005, Ctrl+Alt+Del was nominated for the Web Cartoonists' Choice Awards Outstanding Gaming Comic award, and in 2005 it was nominated for Outstanding Comic.
