Simon GÃÆ'¤rdenfors (born March 23, 1978) is a Swedish cartoonist, rapper, television presenter, and radio host.
His comics are drawn in cartoon style like cartoon icons, although the contents are often realistic or autobiographical. He has published three graphic novels, as well as some short pieces for the Swedish comic anthology Galago .
He is probably best known for his comic about Per-Olof Svensson, who was previously accused, then freed the assassins of Swedish Foreign Minister Anna Lindh. With a strange fate, shortly in relation to the murder allegations, a short comic in Galago was published. According to GÃÆ'¤rdenfors, he has met Svensson during his stay in Lund, and put it in his comic as the subject of mythomania. In 2005, GÃÆ'¤rdenfors had his book Lura mig ( Fool Me ) published, containing interviews with different people whom he considered mythomaniacs, and his comments about media coverage about event.
Together with his childhood friend Calle ThÃÆ'¶rn, he is also a member of the underground hip-hop duo "Las Palmas" which received a lot of broadcast time on Swedish radio in the fall of 2004, especially with the song "SpÃÆ'¶kskrivare" ("Ghostwriter"), claiming that it is actually GÃÆ'¤rdenfors who has written all the famous hip-hop songs. It is also part of an additional hip-hop project, Far & amp; Child (Father and Son), featuring Frej Larsson from SlagsmÃÆ' Â¥ lsklubben.
The graphic novel The 120 Days of Simon ( Simons 120 dagar ) was published in English translation by Top Shelf Productions in 2010.
In 2008, GÃÆ'¤rdenfors hosted a six-episode series on ZTV titled The Simon GÃÆ'¤rdenfors skrÃÆ'¤pkultur-show ( The Simon GÃÆ'¤rdenfors Junk Culture Show ), with each episode focuses on different categories of "junk culture" such as candy wrappers, comics, and pinball.
His father Peter GÃÆ'¤rdenfors is a philosopher and professor of Cognitive Science at the University of Lund, Sweden.
