When Carl Brundtland was growing up, his grandma would share little life lessons in the form of Jamaican proverbs. His favorites were the stories about Anansi the spider, which inspired the antics found in his debut graphic novel. He lives in Toronto, Ontario, with his wife and two kids, who bring their own form of mischief to his life.
