Lucy Knisley (born January 11, 1985) is an American comic artist and musician. Her work is often autobiographical, and food is a common theme.

Knisley's drawn travel journal French Milk was published through Simon & Schuster in October 2008. It received positive reviews in several publications, such as USA Today[1] and Salon.com.[2] Comics critic Douglas Wolk described it as "a keenly observed letter back home... the pleasure Knisley takes in food and company is infectious."[2]

Knisley holds a BFA ('07) from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. While there, she contributed to and edited the comics section of the school newspaper, FNews.[3] Knisley holds an MFA ('09) from the Center for Cartoon Studies. She was awarded the 2007 Diamond in the Rough scholarship[4] for her CCS application comic, Heart Seed Snow Circuit.

Personal life

Knisley became engaged[5] to her now husband, John Hortsman. They were married in September, 2014.[6]

Knisley gave birth to her and Hortsman's son, given the pseudonym "Pal" by Knisley for privacy reasons, on June 13, 2016.[7][8]
