Despite his success, Heller remains humble and grounded. He continues to reside in Green Bay, Wis., where he started his career, drawing inspiration from the community around him. His cartoons serve as a testament to his passion for cartooning and his commitment to providing thought-provoking commentary on the issues that matter most.
