I was born 2/25/1973 in Greenfield, Ma, and started drawing comic strips around age 5, comic books around age 12.
I currently write and draw for MAD Magazine. I’ve also written and drawn dozens of comic-books, as well as a half-dozen daily comic strips. I’ve been written up in theWashington Post, Wired Magazine, Salon Magazine, UK Daily Telegraph, Newsbytes, and even appeared on NPR.
I’ve always enjoyed science fiction, although historically I’ve been a bit of a casual reader of it. That all changed a few years ago as I quested for more interesting audiobooks to listen to while drawing, and I started tackling the science fiction genre. Once down that road, I couldn’t turn back, and even began listening to books and lectures ABOUT science fiction.
About then I had the kernel of an idea for a new strip. A lot of ideas like this end up fizzling out, but this one kept growing. After a year of development — writing, outlining, plotting, character development, etc — I had a solid half year worth of strips to work with, to springboard me into the story; with the outline (in my head) clocking in at about 3 years, give or take however many need be.
Creating. That’s my job. The job of reading it, I leave to you.

PS: thanks for casting your vote for me! ;-)
Hi, remember me? The frogs are still doing well.
Just wanted to say that the last panel in the 3/10 strip sold me on SpaceTrawler. I’ll miss LD, but it’s an interesting change.
Thanks, Michael! And glad to hear the frogs are well. :)
This comic is great! I just love the expressiveness of your characters and I can’t wait to read more :D
Hurray, a new Chris Baldwin comic!! Way back in the early aughts, a friend and I used to survive our day jobs almost solely by reading your “Bruno” strips. It’s been a lot of fun catching up on “Little Dee,” and now I have more to read!

Sorry, Duke. Seems his website got too much promoting today and went down. According to twitter, he is working on it.
Hi Chris,
I miss Lil Dee. But I am enjoying the hell out of Spacetrawler! As soon as you reach the magic number of strips to make a book, announce it and I’ll pre-order.
Enjoy!
