Katie Tiedrich writes and draws the webcomic Awkward Zombie, a collection of videogame parodies known for punchy art and a sometimes dark sense of humor. The comic started out with a focus on Nintendo games, but has since branched out to a more general scope.

Katie currently studies Mechanical Engineering in Hoboken, New Jersey, and hopes to someday build a robot smart enough to help make comics but dumb enough to still be her friend.
