Christopher Baldwin

Christopher Baldwin (born February 25, 1973) is an American illustrator and author of several webcomics,[1][2] the most significant being Bruno, a look at the life of an introspective young woman set in the real world. Other works include shorter webcomic series, some being intentionally designed to attract syndication; these tend to be lighter in tone than Bruno, and include Shepard and May (published for 5 weeks in 2000), Kim in Love (published from October 1, 2001 until October 22, 2001), and Madge's Diary (published from November 5, 2001 until January 18, 2002). Little Dee, about a young girl adopted by a bear, was released on June 7, 2004 for syndication and completed in April 2010. Baldwin later published the science fiction webcomics Spacetrawler[2] and One Way. Aside from comics, Baldwin also wrote the 2003 novel Loved into Submission: a Dark Existential Farce.
