Austin Bridges

Austin is a writer and editor living in Portland, Oregon. He thinks about swords a lot, and not like, specific swords, just the idea of swords. Objectively, they look real cool and everyone agrees that it’s a cool thing to enjoy and think about. He also likes boats, Korean BBQ, and those twee indie songs where the guy sings one verse and then the girl sings a verse and they go back and forth a bit. “Cartoons are extra good,” he says, and people quote him on that all the time. He grew up on Cartoon Planet, Dragonball Z, Freakazoid, and The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest.

Andrew Eric Davison

Andy's a guy who likes his cartoons, and polls show he likes them more than Austin and Rory. He is a stage actor in Seattle, primarily working in musical theatre and trying to somehow pay rent. When he was a smallboy, his go-to cartoons were Sonic SatAM, Hey Arnold!, Pokémon and Invader Zim. Nowadays, he's way deep into Steven Universe, Gravity Falls, Rick and Morty, Bojack Horseman and enough anime that his doctor does that whistle-and-shake-his-head thing while looking down and avoiding eye contact.

Shane K. Smith

Hawaiian born and Montana raised (“Hayseed,” according to Rory), anything and everything nerdy or geeky became Shane’s great escape from his “small town” country life. While his interests ran adjacent to comic books, he unfortunately never quite found an intersection stronger than HeroClix games or the occasional Free Comic Book Day. The MCU made the world of superheroes not only accessible but outright enjoyable and working on The Infinite Backlog is proving to be a wonderful way for Shane to discover where all of his favorite characters got their start.

A current Tacoma, Wa resident, Shane manages a commercial printing facility and does freelance graphic design and watercolor painting on the side.

Rory Voie

Rory teaches overseas and can usually be found gorging himself on foreign spices, like the Sand Worms of the Desert Planet, Arrakis. Rory is the co-creator of internet sensation "Mermaid in Manhattan". Some of his favorite cartoons are X-Men, Digimon, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

He has read Dune.
