Jonathan Rosenberg (November 27, 1973- ) is the webcomic artist responsible for Goats and megaGAMERZ 3133T [1]. Rosenberg has been producing webcomics since 1997, making him one of the original webcomic artists.

Because he was living in Manhattan at the time, Rosenberg's early work also tended to be set predominantly in this location. Later works branched off into real and imagined locations vastly disjointed from his previous comics.

Rosenberg graduated from Cornell University in 1995 with a major in biology. Before working full-time as a webcomic artist, he also worked as a website design consultant. On January 19, 2003, Rosenberg married graphic designer/printmaker and fellow Cornell alum Amy Melnikoff. In August 2006, the Rosenbergs moved from their Manhattan apartment to a house in Westchester County, New York.

[edit] Works

  • Goats
  • megaGAMERZ 3133T - written under the name Diablo, who is a Satanic chicken and a character in Goats. The strip began in June 2005, and was discontinued in June 2006. The site currently loops through previous comics in linear sequence. It heavily parodies template-made gaming comics, in spite of not having much of a gaming focus.[1]
  • Team Force Alpha. Rosenberg's next project.
  • Joke web sites, including Moon the White House, Moistnap, Brains 4 Zombies, and Stoolfairy.
  • Sundry guest strips

[edit] Publications

[edit] Fleen

In December 2005, Rosenberg began publishing Fleen, a webcomic criticism blog written exclusively by webcomic readers. In April 2006, Rosenberg and Phillip Karlsson restructured their business arrangement so that Fleen is now published by Karlsson's Dumbrella Hosting service.

[edit] Appearances in other webcomics

Rosenberg has occasionally appeared as a character in other webcomics, particularly as Mr. Jon Rosenberg in Jeffrey Rowland's Overcompensating. That incarnation of Rosenberg's comic alter ego apparently has jewelry in his intestinal system, and was fake-killed by Dayfree Press.
