ALEX SCHUMACHER is an award-winning cartoonist and writer of comics and books, including 2024’s THE EFFECTS OF PICKLED HERRING—named one of the year’s best graphic novels for children by the American Library Association—and his surrealist sociopolitical(ish) webcomic MR. BUTTERCHIPS (SLG Publishing). The latter was called “powerful, funny and relevant in more ways than most” by Graphic Policy and dubbed “one of the most traumatic reading experiences I’ve had in recent memory” by Biff Bam Pop before they generously hailed the collected edition as the best book of 2020. There was also the time he had the great privilege of designing a limited edition touring poster for the one and only Toadies! Crazy, right? From time to time Alex has even been known to pen essays and articles for periodicals—both online and off—such as Comicon.com, The Comic Book Yeti, and Monkeys Fighting Robots Magazine.
While often lost in his imagination, he can mostly be found with his wonderful wife and precious new son.
