Phil Rood is a cartoonist and illustrator living in Southwest Florida. When he's not drawing, he's having coffee with his wife, wrestling with his three rambunctious sons or walking his geriatric Golden Retriever. He likes listening to music on vinyl records, watching and discussing movies, and playing music(in the loosest possible sense of the word) on his guitar. Phil's other work includes "Mom's Backyard Zoo" by Susan Ferris, "The Monster Alphabet" and truckloads of fun nonsense on his blog, located at www.philrood.com
