Berkeley Breathed, the man behind Bloom County and Opus, did a comic strip while living in Austin, for the Daily Texan (the UT student newspaper.) Supposedly this is where he got his start, but I don't know if that's true.
A lot of the animators are unknown because they're part of the huge video game industry here. Most of the creative rich folks I know in Austin made their money in that realm and now many of them have moved on to other paths in life having nothing to do with animation, music, or programming.
I don't know that there are very many cartoonists here, if any. We have the usual locals who get into local papers, but I don't think any of the nationally syndicated cartoon strips are done by anyone who lives in Austin. Mike Judge would be the closest thing to that. Someone might be able to correct me, I'm certainly not a repository of information about this stuff so take it all with a grain of salt.
