I'm a full-time writing professor / part-time cartoonist living in Southern California. My passion for cartooning began when I was a student at UC Berkeley, where I drew a comic strip called "Salad Daze" for the Daily Californian, the school newspaper. (The strip was a runner-up for the Charles M. Schulz College Cartoonist award.) Just recently (about a year ago) I decided to give cartooning another go, and these are the results.
