Daniel Lehrer

Daniel and Jeremy Lehrer are identical twin cartoonists and comedy writers. They grew up in a large extended family in Los Angeles where the emphasis was on academic excellence, classical music, fine art, and other activities designed not to get them laid. After respectively graduating from Columbia University and Columbia Law School, Jeremy became a small cog at a big corporate law firm, while Daniel became a small cog at Ducati Motorcycles in Bologna, Italy. They engaged in a half-decade of the usual post-graduation soul-crushing work, before deciding to "Voltron" together to pursue their dreams of drawing and writing. They are represented at CAA. @lehrerboys, Daniel and Jeremy's Instagram account, is inspired by their horrible childhood fights over the Sunday Funnies and who got to read "The Far Side" first. Their satirical and biting single-panel cartoons comment on everything from Kim Kardashian and "selfie etiquette" to gender-neutral toilets and masturbation in high-tech times. Perhaps due to their upbringing, they bring a strong outsider perspective to their work. They also recently created "Highly Gifted," a series of animated shorts with Maker Studios, based on their socially-challenged high school years.
