Welcome to my site!

From Newell’s daily misadventures to Purrlock and Marlowe’s skills as sleuths, I’m glad you stopped by. Poke around and check out my books, some of my other cartoon art, and read up on my blog (I’m not too eloquent). You can even drop me a message or find out how you can invite me to your school or library,

I’m glad to have you here!

REVIEWS

“A quick, bright tale with a fun, interactive investigation for young readers. Young mystery lovers are sure to get a kick out of this book.”
—Kirkus Review, August 2025

“Debut author Platt, creator of the web comic Mister & Me, relies on sparse backgrounds and elastic line work to direct the focus toward his characters’ often hyper-reactive states. The end result is a smooth-flowing Calvin and Hobbes–like school and family narrative that will keep readers enjoying both the gags and the plight of the fourth-wall-breaking protagonist—equal parts Walter Mitty and Dennis the Menace—all the way up to the grand finale.”
—Publisher’s Weekly, January 2019

"This hilarious graphic novel is a great read for anyone in middle school or for adults who know someone that age."
—School Library Connection

"Bill Watterson-flavored artwork in full color makes this adventure entertaining and approachable even to novice graphic novel readers, yet Platt's humor is refreshingly distinct in both text and image."
