Jamie Noguchi is a Japanese/Chinese-American artist and webcomic author who used to publish Yellow Peril, an Asian-American office romance comedy webcomic,[1] and Sherlock Holmes' Seriously Short Mini Mysteries, with Steve Napierski. The first Yellow Peril compilation, Back to the Grind: A Yellow Peril Collection, was published in 2011 and the second, The Client is Always: A Yellow Peril Collection, was published in 2013.[2] Noguchi was also the first in the series of illustrators for the Erfworld webcomic.
