[edit] Biography
Haaland made her publishing debut in the student paper Universitas in 1995, but her breakthough came with inclusion into the Norwegian magazine featuring the cartoons of Gary Larson, Larsons Gale Verden.[1][2] Her work has since been syndicated to several magazines and newspapers, most notably Dagbladet, Dagsavisen and Bergens Tidende, although the latter has the distinction of having fired her over a censorship dispute.[3] The books containing her work sell well in Norway and are printed in multiple editions.
For several years Haaland's strip ran under no title, and featured no named characters. This changed as longer stories featuring the characters Melis and Lolito appeared, and the strip eventually took the name Piray. After the run as supporting strip in Larsons Gale Verden, it changed publication and publisher, and is currently featured in the monthly magazines dedicated to Bud Grace's Ernie and Frode Øverli's Pondus.
