About the author

I am best known for writing and drawing the syndicated cartoon strip, SYLVIA, which appears daily and weekly in more than 30 newspapers across the country, including The Boston Globe, The Berkeley Daily Planet, Women’s e News Online and The Houston Chronicle (online). Sylvia strips appear on BadGirlChats as well. I am represented by the Tribune Media Services Syndicate.

I continue to write and draw Sylvia at Badgirlchats.com, a blog composed of original writing, comments and reactions to what's in the news.

I am currently teaching college courses at the Art Institute in graphic novel writing as well as storytelling and memoir workshops at Lillstreet Art Center in Chicago, but I still love speaking at events and book readings.

More Sylvia! I'm getting my Sylvia fix right now. Witty observation on the way life was back in 1981 and the way life still is at times. Love it when her daughter pounds on the bathroom door - "Ma! Are you almost done??" Naturally, she's not. She's got her typewriter in the tub and she's busy with her dreams of Superwomen and fortune tellers.

There's a lot in here that really should be quite dated; sadly, its still pretty much on point.
