Jason Yungbluth - Comic Creator

Marooned at a young age on the desert world of Rochester, New York, cartoonist Jason Yungbluth has been waiting for his destiny to find him in the form of a lovable robot or something. Meanwhile, he bides his time drawing comic books that shock the senses and make you wonder which side of the Force he’s really on.

Jason is the creator and publisher of Deep FriedWeapon Brown and PEEK! He is also the fiendish mind behind Clarissa, the Internet’s most uncomfortable meme.

When not pondering his relationship to Luke Skywalker, Jason also draws cartoons for MAD magazine and teaches at the Rochester Institute of Technology.
