Jeffrey Rowland

Originally from Locust Grove, Oklahoma, Rowland now lives in Easthampton, Massachusetts, where he continues to work on the two projects, while running TopatoCo, a company which sells merchandise based on his and other artists' comics.

Rowland can be considered one of the small number of professional webcartoonists, as running Overcompensating and Wigu, in addition to his merchandise company TopatoCo, is his full-time job and source of income.

The main characters were Neal, a young African American scientist working for the U.S. government; Roger, an unemployed slacker; Zoe, a selfish, bitter newscaster; and Gina, a college student and part-time employee of a video store.

Wigu is an intelligent child with an active imagination who uses much of his free time to watch television and play video games, where he encounters the beings of Butter Dimension³, primarily the intergalactic heroes Topato (a flying potato whose catchphrase is "Spring into action!"

Caricatures of real life people such as Richard Stevens, John Allison and Vera Brosgol[8] make appearances, while other characters, such as Baby, do not exist.

Rowland is the owner and operator of the web merchant TopatoCo, which sells T-shirts, stickers, magnets, comics, hoodies, tote bags, and other items for a number of webcomics.
