Let everyone else be clever for you. 8D I also have to agree with D. I find the goofy bios much more interesting.

Charles - that's what I usually do...yet somehow I still feel uncomfortable...maybe embarrassed that I haven't done more, lol. And interviews are like hard exercise and green leafy vegetables -- I might prefer sloth and chocolate, but the exercise and vegetables are important! D - Sadly, editors sometimes want some sort of serious bio... I adore Takato Yamamoto! His pictures satisfy pretty well all my visual cravings. Anonymous – brilliant!

I loved the silly little bio/ introductions at the end of the Sandman comics and I have to say I was always disappointed if they were written to be serious. I agree about the McKean one liner.

Good luck and thanks for obliging me with the interview in the past. You can stick to being “professional” by just including what you’d put in a resume (i.e. published in XXX).

Bishop inhabits the planet Earth and is somewhat undecided as to the merits of the situation." Add a link to this page for those who really need more and, Poof! Done. Easy, Peasy and Gordian knot dealt with. ;) If your really stuck for a nifty one-line bio, just run a contest on this site and pick the best! JKS Hi Kirsten,
