Norm Feuti is a
syndicated cartoonist, author, and freelance artist living in Massachusetts. Norm's first syndicated comic strip, RETAIL,
presents a humorous look at the retail industry by chronicling the daily events
at the fictitious Grumbel’s department store. Drawing from his 15 years of
experience working in retail management, the humor of RETAIL plays out through the day-to-day trials and triumphs
of four main Grumbel’s department store employees (Marla, Cooper, Val, and
Stuart) and the customers they encounter. RETAIL is distributed worldwide by
King Features and appears in about 50 newspapers throughout the US and Canada. Retail also appears daily
on www.retailcomic.com.
Norm's second
syndicated comic strip GIL is a realistic and funny look at life through the
eyes of a young boy growing up under circumstances that are familiar to
millions of American families. GIL is
syndicated by King Features, and launched in newspapers nationwide on January
2, 2012. GIL also appears daily on www.gilcomics.com.
Norm's
first book, Pretending You Care: The Retail Employee Handbook, is a parody
guidebook for retail employees that includes over 200 Retail comic strips.
Pretending You Care is published by Hyperion.
Don Mathias Jr. is an award
winning freelance illustrator, cartoonist and creative mind behind
"Peanizles", an almost daily webcomic. A native to Massachusetts,
Don received his BFA in Illustration and Graphic Design at Montserrat College
of Art, located in Beverly,
Massachusetts. Don' first comic
"Entering Andover" (which was co-written with Neil Fater) ran in the
Andover Townsman from May 1998 to April 2011, and his art work and illustrations have been featured in numerous newspapers and magazines, including the Weekly Dig, Skope Magazine, and most recently in the critically acclaimed comic book series, "Zombie Bomb" published by Terminal Press. In 2002, Don created Peanizles, an all-ages urban-based comic strip freaturing a diverse cast of characters, which has been printed in newspapers and magazines around the globe. Peanizles went live on the web in the summer of 2009, and has since received world wide
recognition. Peanizles was one of the few comic strips to be chosen for "Team Cul De Sac" a compilation book of cartoons and comic strips geared toward fighting Parkinson's Disease, with proceeds going to the Michael J. Fox Foundation. When Don is not working with the Peanizles gang and doing the convention circuit, he spends his time teaching art, cartooning and illustration at the Essex Art Center and the Bellesini Academy in Lawrence, Massachusetts. Don currently lives in Boston, Massachusetts with his wife and a variety of animals. For more information visit www.peanizles.com.
Brian McFadden was born and raised in Brockton, Massachusetts. Immediately after college, he moved back home and began the irreverent and frequently political alt-weekly comic strip "Big Fat Whale." It has appeared in weeklies across the nation, including: The Boston Phoenix, Cleveland Scene, Daily Kos and Funny Times. After a decade toiling among concert listings and escort ads, Brian was picked to draw "The Strip" for the New York Times' Sunday Review in the summer of 2011. He's been
drawing it ever since and had the good fortune to force his ill-informed opinions on the entire nation throughout the 2012 Republican primaries and the Presidential campaign. He lives in Quincy with his cat, Gizmo.
