About the Author

Steve Foxe is the author of more than 20 children’s books and comics properties including Pokémon, Transformers, Adventure Time, Steven Universe, DC Super Friends, and Grumpy Cat. He lives in Queens, New York, where he thinks a lot about cats, even ones who can’t shoot lasers from their eyes.

Gary Boller was always doodling as a kid, even on his parents’ walls. He loved comics. After working as an art director, it occurred to him that he would really rather be the illustrator. That decision lead to a career in comics, character design, and animation. He had a long-running comic strip in The Times newspaper, worked for Aardman Animations, and helped win a Bafta on The Amazing Adrenalini Brothers animated TV show. He recently designed the characters and animated a game called Alph and Betty's Topsy Turvy World. He also eventually worked for some of those comics that he loved as a kid. In addition to illustration, Gary has a love of music, jazz, and rockabilly, and has played double bass in bands that toured Europe and the United States. After many years in London, Gary now lives in the glorious countryside in Hampshire, United Kingdom, with his wife and two children, one chihuahua, and three cats.
