About the Author

Yehuda and Maya Devir are married Israeli comic artists and the creators of the popular webcomics One of Those Days. The hyperenergetic Yehuda Devir "makes the ants look lazy," according to Maya.

She is a realist artist and the One of Those Days art director and specializes in the art of teasing Yehuda. The couple both studied visual communication at Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, Jerusalem. Today they live and work in in their small, quiet apartment with their new baby girl, Ariel.
