Nils Josef Jonsson (originally Jönsson) (13 December 1890 to 19 March 1963) was an Australian cartoonist born in Halmstad, Sweden. At age 18 he went to sea for nine years, painting in his spare time. In 1915 he "jumped ship" in New Zealand where he worked for a while, then in Australia, finally settling down in Sydney where he studied painting full-time from 1918 to 1920 at the studio of John S. Watkins (1866 to 1942), becoming an instructor himself within a year.
