¡Hola! My name is Wayne, and I'm one-half of a cartoonist. (I'm the half that likes to write and eat a lot of doughnuts.) My friend and partner Jaime is the other half of this cartoon equation. (He's the one who likes to draw and watch a lot of Hitchcock movies.) Together, we're kinda like Voltron... without as many interlocking parts.

We made this deviantART page because we're thrilled to share our comic strip with you. It's called Kate the Great, and we really, really love it. We hope that you will, too.

(In the picture above? Yep, that's Kate! And her unicorn, Zuzu. And Louie [her dragon!] and Harlan [her gargoyle!] are running around in the background. And Tidas is her griffin. You'll see him soon. He's huge and super awesome.)

About the comic: Kate the Great is a comic strip about a spirited young girl with a big imagination. Kate’s friends (a gargoyle, a dragon, a unicorn, and a griffin) go with her on a series of adventures – some in the real world, others in worlds she probably invents – yet regardless of her environment and the challenges she faces, Kate is a natural-born leader and a very funny kid.
