Currently he is a freelance designer, illustrator and co-author, with David Tomaselli, of the comic strip "Onion & Pea". Since his early childhood he has always wanted to be a cartoonist to capture on paper all those crazy pictures and stories that come to his mind. Besides drawing and painting, he loves movies, music and martial arts. He is happily married and lives with his wife in Malaga, Spain, making his dreams come true.

David Tomaselli born in Malaga, Spain, currently lives in Zurich, Switzerland, where he combines his engineering job with writing the comic strip "Onion & Pea" of which he is co-author with Jose Villena. David and Jose met in high school over twenty years ago where they discovered they had in common their passion for comics, a passion that began to develop professionally over five years ago. He is currently obsessed with learning German in order to talk to Gordo, his German shepherd, who never listens to him. Right now, the dog merely snores.

Dale has participated in TCDC since 2005 and always brings a unique take on Santa and Christmas. Enjoy!

TCDC welcomes Donnie Pitchford to the line-up! After a career as an educator, Donnie Pitchford returned to his first love - comics!

The strip is published in Arkansas newspapers, Old Time Radio journals, and most recently, Comic Stroll (SECNCS).

Donnie is a member of the Southeast Chapter of the National Cartoonists Society.
