Currently, he creates and publishes three webcomics, Quitting Time, Gods Playing Poker and Shadensmilen, under the banner of Dung Beetle Comics, a webcomic collective of which he’s a founding member. He is also collaborating on a fourth upcoming comic, Freedom Watch, which he hopes to begin publishing early next year. Michael also contributes cartoons to the new magazine Modern Seamster, writes for the magazine Webcomics Anonymous, and gathers news for the weekly podcast the Gigcast produced by the hard rockin’ people at NightGig Studios. And yes, he has paid his dues in retail.

Linda Howard (Valentine)

Linda Howard has been conducting a life-long love affair with the written word. When not lettering and copyediting for Quitting Time, she helps craft scripts and letter for other comic collaborations, including Gods Playing Poker and, beginning with Volume 2, Kirt Burdick’s How to be Bulletproof. She also maintains Dung Beetle’s various ComicPress websites and occasionally blogs for ComixTalk. Much to the dismay of her cat, her husband, and her WoW guild, she is planning to bring several more projects and collaborations online in 2008.
