Excerpt: Jef Mallett (born 1962) is the creator and artist of the comic strip Frazz. He attended nursing school for a period of time before leaving to pursue his artistic interests. He has a longtime interest in the thrill and excitement of bicycling. He is married and lives in Lansing, Michigan, United States. While in high school, Mallett created a comic strip for his local newspaper, the Big Rapids, Michigan, Pioneer. After becoming a graphic artist, he worked in that capacity for regional newspapers, the Grand Rapids Press and the Flint Journal. He then worked in Lansing as art director and editorial cartoonist for Booth Newspapers' Capital Bureau. Afterwards, Mallett left the commercial world to concentrate on Frazz full-time.
