After three years, Sack returned to Minnesota to join the Star Tribune. He is featured online by Daryl Cagle, another editorial draftsman, who says:

Steve Sack is a wonderful cartoonist. He draws … in a painterly, colorful style that cannot be compared to any other cartoonist. I consider Steve a “stealth” cartoonist because his drawing style is cute, young and charming. but the sweet look is deceptive, Steve is actually one of the toughest cartoonists who impales his political goals with little mercy.

Sack’s interactive program became the most popular on the Cagle website. It was introduced in 2000 and caused problems for the web servers due to the high traffic. “The Haunted House returned” in 2005.

In his spare time, Sack likes to paint oil. He lives in the twin cities with his wife Beth.
