Lynda Barry

Lynda Barry (born January 2, 1956) is an American cartoonist and author. One of the most successful non-mainstream American cartoonists, Barry is perhaps best known for her weekly comic strip Ernie Pook's Comeek. Barry's cartoons often view family life from the perspective of adolescent girls from the wrong side of the tracks — particularly sensitive, freckled Arna and the cousins with whom she lives; her best friend, pig-tailed Marlys, who is confident and mean, and the older Maybonne, who goes out with boys — but she often ventures far afield from this, such as in her strips featuring a poetry-spouting poodle named Fred Milton. She also garnered attention when her book The Good Times are Killing Me was made into a play.
