About the author
Janine Janssen (aka J.J.) has been drawing ever since she could hold a pencil, resulting in a BA in illustration and MA in animation. She loves telling stories about oddballs in society, and has been sharing them online as webcomics since 2013. She lives in the south of the Netherlands, but is travelling the world every day in her mind.
S. Al Sabado is a teaching artist from O’ahu, Hawai’i, with a background in graphic design that allows him to do most of the lettering and typography found in Les Normaux (in fact, the main font was designed by him!)
