Herman Zweibel, Jean Teasdale and Herbert Kornfield. Schneider"s comic strip, Pathetic Geek Stories, illustrates tales of pain and humiliation, usually during adolescence, sent to her by readers.
In 2004, Pathetic Geek Stories formally ceased to be a feature in The Onion, moving to its own website.
