by Steve Moore
STEVE MOORE is a rookie author, amateur cartoonist, and C+ student at Spiro T. Agnew Middle School.
When his rear end isn’t glued to the bench beside his two best friends, Joey Linguini and Carlos Diaz, Steve likes to spend time selling sports memorabilia at inflated prices and hanging out with his pets—especially Fido, a large snake who struggles with separation anxiety.
Steve does not like to spend time eating broccoli, running wind sprints until his lungs explode, or climbing into the attic to dispose of dead rats.
He lives with his former hotshot athlete dad and turbo-hyper-worrywart mom in the extraordinarily average city of Goodfellow, which may or may not show up on Google Maps.
