Mark Tatulli is an internationally syndicated cartoonist best known for his popular comic strips HEART OF THE CITY and LIO. HEART features a fun-loving, tenacious little girl and her adventures in the big city of Philadelphia.

In addition to his cartooning experience, Tatulli is also an accomplished filmmaker and animator, and is the recipient of three Emmy awards for his television work. His recent experience includes graphics and animation for such shows as A WEDDING STORY, TRADING SPACES: BOYS VS. GIRLS, EPICURIOUS, and children's DVDs.

Tatulli is a self-described "stay-at-home-stripper," dividing his time between cartooning and all the other normal suburban stuff. He lives in a Spielbergian development in New Jersey with his wife, Donna, three children and three nefarious cats, all of whom supply endless ideas for HEART and LIO.
