About Suzy Becker

Suzy Becker has been a lot of things— from synthetic mohair factory  worker to charter school cofounder— however she considers herself first  and foremost a cartoonist. Her work first gained recognition on her  self-published Widget Factory cards, and then sat on the NY Times  bestseller list for seven months in ALL I NEED TO KNOW I LEARNED FROM MY  CAT. Suzy has since written and illustrated ten other titles for all ages. She is a faculty advisor in Applied Cartooning for the Center for Cartoon Studies, and a leading practitioner in the emerging field of Graphic Medicine. Her cartoons debuted in the New Yorker in May (2020).

She lives with her family and three well meaning-dogs in central Massachusetts.
