Candice Whatmore

Candice once accidentally stepped barefoot on a slug—and has never quite recovered. Unsurprisingly, she's not a fan of anything slimy. She’s also never really understood the appeal of comic books. So naturally, her solo debut creation is… a comic book about slugs. It’s the kind of decision that only makes sense if you don’t think too hard about it.

When she’s not busy crafting stories about creatures she’d rather avoid in real life, Candice can be found devouring chocolate, swimming laps, or laughing at comedy podcasts on the train—while trying (and mostly failing) to look like a serious, professional commuter.

She shares her home with two boys (lucky her), which means she’s well-acquainted with toilet humour, mysterious smells, and the joy of finding stray Star Wars Lego embedded in the sofa cushions.
