About the Cartoonist

Gordon McAlpin is a Filipino-American writer and cartoonist. He grew up in Peoria, Illinois, before moving to Chicago in 2001.

From 2004–2006, Gordon created Stripped Books, a series of non-fiction strips covering book- and comics-related events in comics form. Multiplex began in July, 2005, and is Gordon’s first on-going comic strip.

Gordon draws Multiplex in Adobe Illustrator CS4 on a Mac and happily endorses the Phantasm CS family of plug-ins. He uses Coda to update and maintain the Multiplex website and hosts the site on Slicehost.
