Painfully-literate, 20-year veteran of bitter aggro shitecomics and also a pretty good writer, Eugenio Negro is a large rodent of the species Lagidium Viscacia living in occupied Amah-Mutsun Ohlone territory. His novels deal with consumerism, classism, environment, language, perception, gentrification and police lynching. His comics are about the same only shorter and snottier.
