Question: What American author, game designer, and graphic designer also wrote and drew the comic, The Order of the Stick?

A graphic designer creates the graphics primarily for published, printed or electronic media, such as brochures (sometimes) and advertising.  They are also sometimes responsible for typesetting, illustration, user interfaces, and web design.  A core responsibility of the designer's job is to present information in a way that is both accessible and memorable.
