Mick Stevens was born some time ago in the wilds of Oregon state. He surprised doctors and parents by immediately drawing a cartoon about the event, poking fun at the inadequacies of the American health-care system. Since that time, he has attempted to make a living with his art, which mostly takes the form of magazine cartooning, along with occasional forays into writing and music. His work can be found in The New Yorker, among other places.
