Miguel Estrugo

Miguel Estrugo is a graphic designer and amateur webcomic creator, born in Spain on October 15, 1972 (exactly the same day Cayetano Garza was born) and living in Santiago de Chile, Chile who has been drawing webcomics on and off since 1996. His creations include Crock O'Dyle, Alice Otter, Road to Cuckooland and Ferret Wars.

His drawing style is strongly influenced by Spanish comic artists from the 60s and 70s, like José Sanchís, Manuel Vázquez and Francisco Ibáñez, and early animators like the Fleischer brothers and Messmer/Sullivan.

He loves drawing funny animals, and his favorite genre is humor, ranging from slice-of-life to slapstick.

Artie Coon (or Artie'Coon) is a cartoony raccoon of undefined age created by Miguel Estrugo in 2000. He replaced Artie Roo as his creator's personal character and internet alias.

Artie Coon is a caricaturization of his author's personality, created mostly to roleplay in FurryMUCK.

He's been featured in some pictures by his author, occasionally on satirical images related with furry fandom's darker aspects, but most of the drawings where he appears are submissions to the Artist's Ambush, that he occasionally visits on FurryMUCK.
