She grew up in New York City, but loves going on vacation to the countryside. Once, when she was very young, a cow mistook her bright yellow dress for a flower and tried to eat her. She's still a little afraid of cows, but she'd like to learn how to milk one. Trade Loeffler is also the creator of the all-ages web comic Zip and Li'l Bit, and lives in Brooklyn, New York, with his wife, son, and their dog, Boo. Trade grew up in Livermore, California, the home of ""the World's Fastest Rodeo,"" an event complete with bull riding and wild-cow milking. But although he grew up in a ""cow town,"" Trade never considered himself a cowboy - even though he does own two pairs of cowboy boots. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
