Peter Dunlap-Shohl worked as a cartoonist for the Anchorage Daily News for over a quarter of a century. As a (nearly) life-long Alaskan, he has survived earthquakes, oil spills and moose charges. He is the author of My Degeneration, a graphic novel about coping with young-onset Parkinson's disease. He and his wife Pam now divide their time between Alaska and eastern Washington State.
