Lincoln Peirce
Lincoln Peirce began creating comics in the 6th grade (just like Big Nate!). He went on to teach art at a New York City High School.
Lincoln created the cartoon-strip character Big Nate in 1991, naming the character after a nickname he gave his older brother as a kid.
He lives in Portland, Maine in the US and as well as creating Big Nate comic strips and books, he hosts a local radio show.
