Ryan Pagelow has drawn comics for most of his life. His work appears in Mad magazine, newspapers, and online. He was one of the 10 finalists in the Comic Strip Superstar Contest hosted by Amazon.com and also earned the Charles Schulz National College Cartoonist Award. When he is not working as a photojournalist, Ryan draws the comic strips Pressed and Buni. Raised in Madison, Wisconsin, he worked in Italy and Argentina before ending up in Chicago where he now lives.

Buni is a dark comedy revolving around a hopelessly optimistic loser bunny named Buni. The girl he loves doesn't love him back. His boss doesn't respect him. And he usually fails at whatever he tries. However, he remains unfazed and excited about life with his endearing snaggle-toothed grin.

Buni was selected as one of 10 finalists in the Comic Strip Superstar contest hosted by Amazon.com.
