Dave Blumenthal is an Australian artist, most notable for drawing cartoons and dad jokes on his children's lunch bags under the nickname Sandwich Bag Dad.[1] Blumenthal started drawing on his eldest daughter's lunch bags in 2012 to add some fun to her school day and over the course of more than a decade, has amassed a following on social media, particularly Instagram and Facebook.[2] His work features a variety of pop culture references, puns, and characters, all drawn in a humorous style and has been featured across numerous Australian and international media outlets[3][4][5][6], television news[7] and radio stations[8][9].
Blumenthal's cartoon art was the subject of a solo exhibition at The National Cartoon Gallery in Coffs Harbour in 2021[10] and at The Hawthorn Town Hall Gallery in 2022[11]. He has also published a book of his lunch bag cartoons entitled "The Cartoon Chronicles of Sandwich Bag Dad[12]" which features some of his favorite creations.
Blumenthal was also a finalist in the Bald Archy Satirical Portrait Competition in 2023 and again in 2024.[13][14][15]
