Miriam Engelberg was a talented graphic novelist and illustrator known for her comic memoir, 'Cancer Made Me a Shallower Person,' which chronicled her experience with metastatic breast cancer. Raised in a Jewish family but brought up as a Quaker, she later converted to Catholicism, humorously identifying herself as a 'Catholic-Quaker-Jew.' Aside from her graphic novels, Engelberg also worked as a teacher and collaborated on a black comedy. Despite her declining health, she continued to publish comics online until her death in 2006.
