Rick Altergott is a professional illustrator, cartoonist, and comic artist residing in Providence, Rhode Island with his wife Ariel Bordeaux, also a cartoonist. Their collaborative comic book, Raisin Pie, is published by Fantagraphics.

Altergott is best known for Doofus, a long-running series notorious for its scatological humor.

In September 2006 he released a serious Biblical mini-comic based on the life of Saint Matthias. [1]

It has been sometimes theorized that Altergott is a pseudonym for Daniel Clowes, which allows him to exercise drawing in a different, Wally Wood-reverent style. This is, however, not true.
