Allow me to introduce myself! I’m Jennifer Cuthbert Lam, creator of The Adventures of Lollipop Comics. I have been drawing Lollipop and her friends for over 30 years, since I was a 9-year old kid growing up in Brampton, Ontario, Canada. I now live in Georgetown, ON with my husband Perry and our son Spencer.

I have studied Visual Arts at Mayfield Secondary School, History at York University and Primary/Junior Education at Trent University. I am an Ontario Certified Teacher (OCT) and worked as a teacher part-time for 12 years before I decided to create comics full-time. I am passionate about using comic books to teach kids (and kids at heart!) about the world around them.
