cartoonist writer graphic designer
Nicole Hollander was born on April 25, 1939, in Chicago, Illinois, United States. She is the daughter of Shirley Mazur Garrison and Henry Garrison, who was a labor activist and member of the carpenters union. Hollander grew up in Chicago, Illinois, where her father was a carpenter and her mother worked as a hospital administrator.
Hollander attended Chicago public schools. Then she received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1960, as well as her Master of Fine Arts from Boston University in 1966.
Hollander served for a time as a graphic designer during the 1970s. The company, where she worked for printed the feminist newsletter Spokeswoman, eventually began running some of her comics, some featuring Sylvia. She is a creator of syndicated cartoon Sylvia ans head of Sylvia products, including dolls and calendars. Its main character, complete with trademark feather boa, cigarette, and open-heeled bedroom slippers, began appearing in her work as early as 1979, when her first collection of cartoons, I'm in Training to Be Tall and Blonde, was released by St. Martin’s Press. Sylvia, from the beginnings, had a strong, feminist bent; though some readers claim that Hollander’s feminist edge has softened over the years. Sylvia remains extremely popular, especially among women readers. Hollander has also illustrated children’s books and collaborated on a stage play based on Sylvia. Hollander gathered her work into a collection and submitted it for publication. In the beginning, women readers passed the St. Martin’s books of Sylvia cartoons amongst themselves, but in the early 1980s, Hollander’s work began appearing in more periodicals.
In 1991 a musical play about Sylvia that Hollander penned with others made its debut in Chicago. A Variety reviewer felt that Sylvia’s Real Good Advice “may come as a slight disappointment to Sylvia fans expecting a bit more bite in the humor”, and she labeled the play’s “commercial prospects” as “considerable”. The critic conceded that the musical “works well onstage. Audience response on opening night was enthusiastic.” The following year, Hollander took a break from putting out books about Sylvia and issued Everything Here Is Mine: An Unhelpful Guide to Cat Behavior. Cats had been featured prominently in the Sylvia cartoon strip and Hollander teamed with writer Allia Zobel to illustrate a series of titles on the humorous wisdom inspired by the pets.
Now Hollander is a faculty member at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She offered a course in writing the graphic novel there in 2011. She worked as a teacher at the Ohio State University, the Columbia College of Chicago, the Ox-Bow School of Art and the Chicago's Printers Row Lit Fest. In 2009, Hollander was a curator of a show of women's humor And You Think This Is Funny? for Chicago's Woman Made Gallery. On March 26, 2012, Hollander declared that she was retiring her Sylvia strip from newspaper syndication. Hollander has published 19 Sylvia collections.
Nicole Hollander is one of the few female cartoonists whose work has been featured in comic pages throughout the United States. Her main claim to fame is the comic strip Sylvia. In 1993 Hollander’s Sylvia was featured in approximately sixty newspapers, making her “the most outspokenly feminist cartoonist in mainstream publication,” according to Paula Chin and Luchina Fisher in People. Her work has became the basis for some theatrical musicals, such as Female Problems and Sylvia's Real Good Advice, winner of a Joseph Jefferson Award in 1991.
Hollander won the Wonder Woman Foundation Award for Women of Achievement over Forty in 1983.
