Peaco Todd
Filed under: Authors
Peaco Todd is an award-winning cartoonist, journalist, author, and illustrator, as well as a relatively newly-minted poet. For several years she served as an assistant professor of humanities, management, and liberal studies for Lesley University and the Union Institute and University. Her current projects include her poetry practice and a graphic memoir about growing up with a severely depressed mother, entitled Already Broken.
A trip to South Africa and Zimbabwe brought her love for animals, especially elephants, to a new height; upon her return she founded Earth Comix, a 501(c)3 organization with the mission of using comics and cartoons to raise awareness about the iconic animals that are facing extinction due to poaching and climate change. A recent Earth Comix project was a collaboration with Canines for Africa to produce a comic book entitled Shikar's Incredible Adventure, the story of one of the C4A dogs trained to deter poachers in South Africa's Kruger National Park.
