Shannon Wheeler made the Fighting Covid and Beating Covid comics for NWDA to much acclaim. He started cartooning for his college paper, the Daily Californian, when he was at Berkeley studying architecture. He started Too Much Coffee Man as a mini-comic when he lived in Austin, TX. The last 20 years in Portland have been home to him as he published many books, taught comic creating at PSU, won a couple Eisner awards, worked for the New Yorker, and produced an opera.
