Kirk Scroggs

Contrary to the expressed wishes of his former kindergarten teacher, Kirk Scroggs has spent a lifetime being silly and drawing monsters. Raised in Austin and now residing in Los Angeles with his husband and two ingrate cats, Kirk has written The Secret Spiral of Swamp Kid and We Found a Monster for DC Comics, Tales of a Sixth-Grade Muppet for Disney as well as his own off-brand concoctions like Wiley and Grampa’s Creature Features, Snoop Troop and the all new Petwizards. Known for creating such creatures as Were-yotes, Ninja Potato Clones, and killer Sloppy Joes, Kirk is strenuously resisting inserting a new monster into this bio even as we speak!

Reviews

PetWizards

Petwizards
"The illustration’s Day-Glo aesthetics and exaggerated character designs combine to deliver an atypical superhero yarn. Bizarre yet relatable characters, off-putting yet cute critters, and familiar messages about identity, fitting in, and being oneself ferried via uplifting storytelling make for a goofy adventure."

Publishers Weekly

Snoop Troop

Snoop Troop: It Came From Beneath the Playground (#1)
"Satisfyingly silly. Mystery (and humor) mavens will eagerly await future cases."

Kirkus Reviews

"Newly independent readers will enjoy the graphic novel format"

School Library Journal

"A rollicking mystery that bodes well for the books to come."

Publishers Weekly

"Perfect for kids who enjoy the Lunch Lady series and are ready for something a little bit more challenging. It's highly interactive and dynamic, and a great introduction to how to solve mysteries."
