Ryan North is a New York Times bestselling author and cartoonist. His previous Shakespeare book, To Be or Not To Be, became Kickstarter's most-funded publishing project when it launched.

North writes the popular webcomic Dinosaur Comics and the critically acclaimed Unbeatable Squirrel Girl for Marvel Comics, and he wrote the first thirty-five issues of Adventure Time, for which he won an Eisner Award.

That's like the Oscars of comics! There's a gala and everything. He lives in Toronto with his wife, Jenn, and their dog, Noam Chompsky.
