Hi, my name is Jennifer Babcock! I graduated from UCLA in June 2004 with a BA in history and art history and have no idea what I’m going to do for a living. Currently, I'm a graduate student at NYU's Institute of Fine Arts studying Ancient Egyptian art history. I'm hoping that by continuing my education, I can buy some time before I find a "real" job.

While enrolled at UCLA, I wrote “C’est la Vie” for the university newspaper, The Daily Bruin, where it was discovered by Universal Press Syndicate in its first year of publication. “C’est la Vie” as it exists today is a result of the partnership between me and UPS, in the hopes of creating a feature that could be embraced by a wide audience. I signed a contract with Uclick, the online division of UPS in March of 2005, and "C'est la Vie" is now a daily feature on www.ucomics.com.

While I’ve been drawing since before I can remember, I did not always want to be a cartoonist when I “grew up.” Among the other occupations I considered throughout my lifetime are: artist, animator, oceanographer, astronomer, novelist, curator, archaeologist, Egyptologist, coroner…

I started cartooning in my senior year of high school, when I created Mona and Donna, and have been secretly wanting to be a professional cartoonist ever since.

Oy! I'm David, I've managed the back end of www.clv-comic.com since late 2006 (long story) and I have absolutely no say in the artistic direction of C'est La Vie (for good reason). I keep this website up and running and write an occasional Facebook App (Check out the C'est La Vie facebook application. Click Here). I graduated from UCLA in 2007 with a degree in Biochemistry and I split my time between Los Angeles (where I live with my two surfboards), New York City and Boston.

I currently make my way as an underemployed Jack-of-all trades (CV availiable upon request, serious offers only). Among my many skillsets, I do an uncanny impersonation of his Holiness, the Venerable Dali Lama, and that brings me alot more satisfaction than it should.
