Jason Viola grew up in a small farm town in Massachusetts where he spent idle hours drawing comic strips about birds and cats. Jason went to college in Buffalo, New York, where he met his wife Rebecca. They both help organize the Boston-area comics convention MICE, and enjoy hiking together through the Middlesex Fells. Zack Giallongo is a teacher, podcaster, and cartoonist with several books under his belt including Star Wars Doodles, Ewoks: Shadows of Endor, the Stratford Zoo Midnight Revue series, and his original graphic novel, Broxo, which was a New York Times bestseller. He forages for food in the sometimes-quite-brisk landscapes of New England.
