PETER GLANTING is an illustrator and product designer. He also claims he was a baron in "the old country," but people are haters and they don't often believe him (#notfair). He likes sock puppets and dogs with bushy eyebrows. Peter holds a B.A. in English from the University of California at Davis, and an M.F.A. in Comics from the California College of the Arts. He lives and works in Portland, Oregon.
