Gemma Correll (born 3 February 1984) is a British cartoonist and illustrator who is known for her comics depicting personal, relatable anxieties and pugs.

Correll recounts that she "felt somehow compelled" to start drawing "little stories" at 5 years old, both as a distraction from her anxieties and as a way to connect with her fellow schoolmates.

[4] She sold The Chatterbox, a self-published comic, to other students and teachers for a nominal sum to earn pocket money for snacks and soda.

[11] Correll cites Lynda Barry as her biggest inspiration and adds she has been influenced by the works of Kate Beaton, Jeffrey Brown, Terry Deary, Julie Doucet, Tom Gauld, Carl Giles, Matt Groening, Gary Larson, Simone Lia, Ronald Searle, and Posy Simmonds.

[5][6][8] Correll resides in Orange County, California with her husband, the collage artist Anthony Zinonos,[9] and their trio of rescued pugs, Mr. Pickles, Bean, and Zander.
