About

ALEX SCHUMACHER is an award-winning cartoonist and writer whose various titles include Flash Gordon Adventures! Vol. 2 and Punk Taco Adventures! from Papercutz, Scott Snyder Presents: The Cloakroom, surrealist sociopolitical(ish) webcomic Mr. Butterchips—named Best Book of 2020 by Biff Bam Pop—and The Effects of Pickled Herring. The latter happened to win two awards from The Center for Jewish History and was named to the American Library Association‘s Best Graphic Novels for Children Reading List of 2024. 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? Every so often he 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. Join his “Quarterly Newsmacher” newsletter for all the latest updates, announcements, exclusives, and behind the scenes peeks. While often lost in his imagination, he can mostly be found with his wonderful wife and precious son.
