About the Author
Simon Hanselmann is a provocative cartoonist and illustrator whose work delves into the gritty underbelly of millennial malaise, blending dark humor with unflinching portrayals of addiction, dysfunction, and fleeting moments of absurdity. Born in Germany and raised in Australia, Hanselmann's comics draw from his own experiences navigating the chaos of underground art scenes and personal struggles, offering readers a raw, unfiltered lens on modern life. His signature characters, like the hapless stoner Megg and her foul-mouthed owl companion Owl, have captivated a cult following for their blend of slacker ennui and visceral emotional depth. Through his graphic novels, Hanselmann critiques societal norms while celebrating the resilience found in everyday depravity, making him a standout voice in contemporary alternative comics.
