Official Biography
For Immediate Release

Bitten in his teens by a radioactive sloth, Christopher Allan was given remarkable powers of laziness and inactivity. He soon realized that with great inability comes great irresponsibility, so he became a cartoonist. He studied under some of the greats at the School of Visual Arts in New York City, but soon wised up and got the hell out of there. He now makes his home in the Pennsylvania 'burbs north of Philadelphia with a cat, an iguana, and two boys.

Chris' work has appeared in many publications, and some have even paid him. The list includes a five-year stint as penciller/co-writer/co-editor on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures (the "kiddie" book). His client list has also included Warner Brothers, Disney, Archie Comics, and a series of national and local magazines and corporations. While he has no awards to his credit as yet, he has been named a finalist in the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes.

Below is a list of Frequently Asked Questions:
Do you get any money for all this work, or is it just for fun? The site is, at this point, a labor of love, but, of course, I hope to gain some exposure from it. Anyone concerned about my financial well-being is encouraged to visit the shop page and buy some stuff.
Do you have a day job? Yes, I do. I am currently employed by Tootsie Roll made up of a group of very cool people. Unfortunately, though not surprisingly, my duties do not often call on me to illustrate monsters, dinosaurs or scantily-clad alien women.
Will you draw something for me? I'm always happy to provide personal artwork to people who are happy to provide personal checks.
How long does it take you to do a comic? With a full-time job and two boys, I can't believe I ever get one done.
What's that thing on your face? Nothing. Shut up. Just shut up!
Your stuff is pretty cool. Why aren't you rich and famous? That's a question for the many art directors and editors whose names appear on the bottom of the rejection letters I have in my files. If you'd like to ask them, I keep a detailed list of their names and current whereabouts...
Oh, Jeez! I can't believe you just did that! While it's true that I often hear people saying this to me, it's not really a question, so I can't respond.
