Appearing for the first time ever at a Minnesota comic convention!

Shannon Wheeler has cartooned for The New Yorker, MAD magazine, Forbes, Pendulous Breasts Quarterly, and others. He is most well-known for his character Too Much Coffee Man, which is a self-published comic book, an award-winning commercial for Converse Tennis Shoe, and an opera. He will be thankful to not hear people people making the joke, "I guess he had too much coffee!" once he's dead.

Too Much Coffee Man won an Eisner Award in 1995 for Best New Series. Shannon also won an Eisner Award for Best Humor Publication in 2011 for I Thought You Would be Funnier, a collection of previously-unprinted The New Yorker Magazine cartoon submissions. He received an Inkpot Award in 2018.

Shannon teaches comics, lectures about comics, and is learning French because the French appreciate comics. He is currently working on a book about his father's commune that is being serialized on Substack.
