Arantza Pena Popo is a Colombian-born and Atlanta-based artist who explores slice-of-life narratives through her comic artwork. You can find her playing bass in the dark, listening to too much Mitski, and enthusiastically ranting about Damien Hirst.

​

She began contributing gags to The New Yorker in August 2020.

She also draws a biweekly comic column called "California Dreamin'" for The Daily Trojan Newspaper.
