謝東霖，臺灣藝術大學戲劇學系畢業，海軍陸戰隊退伍後，擔任廣告文案，現在則為全職漫畫工作者，作品融合幽默、風趣、諷刺的風格。 　在這一路上，他時常產生「蛤？」的念頭，想當畫家卻是色盲、考到理想志願卻休學等，從出版第一本書算起，創作至今已經超過18個年頭，從小說到廣告到漫畫，人生轉了好多次彎，如今以漫畫為業，也剛好趕上台灣漫畫的三度春天。著有多部漫畫，有《妖怪五星好評》《神明便利商店》《誰怕誰》《殺手的戀愛相談》《我在詐騙公司上班》等，作品多次入圍博客來年度暢銷榜。 Graduated from the Department of Theatre and Drama at the National Taiwan University of Arts, he worked as an advertisement copywriter after his discharge from the Marine Corps, and now he is a full-time cartoonist, whose works are a mix of humor, sarcasm, and satire. Along the way, the idea of becoming a cartoonist came to him from time to time. He wanted to be a cartoonist but was color-blind, and took a break from his studies when he got his dream exam. Since the publication of his first book, it has been more than 18 years since he started to create his own works, and he has made many turns in his life, from novels to advertisements to cartoons, and he has now taken up comics as a profession, which is just in time to catch up with the third spring of Taiwanese comics.
