Doogie Horner is a writer, illustrator, and comedian. Raised in Pennsylvania, he studied design at Tyler School of Art and Architecture in Philadelphia, intending to write and illustrate books. He spent his early career designing book covers, working at Quirk Books for about ten years.

While working at Quirk, Doogie entered the world of standup comedy. Where art requires long hours of isolation, Doogie found the immediate feedback of standup comedy exhilarating. After winning over a booing audience, he went on to become a semi-finalist on America’s Got Talent. 

Despite his success in comedy, Doogie chose to stay with his job and continue performing on the side. In standup and art, he enjoys having an audience and sharing his work with people.  

Doogie is the author and illustrator of The Adventures of Invisible Boy graphic novel series, and the author of This Might Hurt a Bit, A Die Hard Christmas, and many more books. He has two comedy albums, Dad Max and A Delicate Man, the latter of which was an AV Club staff pick. Doogie lives with his family in New York.
