Nils Ofstad lives outside Trondheim, Norway, together with two kids, and one wife. He is a senior lecturer and has begun a doctorate which he does not seem to complete, ironically, since the field of study is motivational psychology. 'Squared Away' (Norwegian: Helt Nils) has since August 2007 become one of Norway's most printed single panel cartoons with a permanent place in the success magazine Pondus and in a thirty-number Norwegian newspapers. The panel is packed with madness, absurdities and more or less sick ideas.
