Adam Foreman.

Writer & illustrator · United Kingdom

The creator of the Slice of Mallow webcomic, serving up fast, surreal, laugh-out-loud graphic novels about a pessimistic marshmallow and his food-shaped friends — a low-pressure gateway into comics for reluctant readers.

Adam Foreman is a cartoonist and illustrator from the north-west of England, and the creator of Slice of Mallow. Trained in animation and a veteran of the games industry, he began drawing his marshmallow characters as short strips during lockdown while at home with his baby son, posting them on Instagram and Webtoon before the webcomic grew a following of its own. That online success became a middle-grade graphic-novel series, Slice of Mallow and Second Slice, in which the excitable but deeply pessimistic Mallow and his food-shaped friends career through fast, surreal, laugh-out-loud adventures. Foreman writes and draws with the anything-goes energy of Adventure Time, and his short, self-contained comic stories are pitched squarely at reluctant and newly independent readers who want maximum jokes per page. A cheerful, low-pressure gateway into graphic novels.
