Julia is 25 and was born and raised in the San Francisco bay area. She currently (and begrudgingly) resides in Brooklyn, NY. She never went to art school, but she does have a bullshit BA that she will never use. Despite the fact that she is often angry and overreacting in her comics, in reality, her backwoods upbringing & hippie parents provided her with a healthy dose of west coast mentality that also cause her to still use words like “rad” “hella” and “dude” and she really doesn’t give two damp shits what you think about that. She’s fond of dance parties but thinks long walks on the beach are totally gay.

A Fart Party collection is available here, published by Atomic Books. Don’t buy it for yer mom.

Julia is also the editor of “I Saw You…” an anthology of missed connection comics being published by Three Rivers Press in early 2009.

you can have words with her at JuliaWertz(at)gmail(dot)com or send trinkets and treats to 321 Ellery St apt 3R, Brooklyn, NY 11206

There lives a cartoonist named Julia.
She looks twelve, but don’t let that fool ya…
She drinks like a fish,
Bakes cupcakes (delish!)
Knows more swears than sailors could school ya
