Eric Lernould (born November 20, 1991) is the self proclaimed "Overlord of The World". He is most notably known for his webcomics Sketchy Antics and Your Overlord, Eric; two projects which have allowed him to become well known in the online webcomic community.

Personal life
Lernould grew up in Connecticut, United States where he studied Forensic Science (minor in Biology) at the University of New Haven; he graduated in 2013. He is a humorist, cartoonist, scientist, programmer and world domination enthusiast. His parents are Lisa and Richard (Joe) Lernould.

Known for his world domination schemes, Lernould has reportedly been attempting to take over the world since he was 10 years old. He has also admitted publicly that he has created nearly a dozen world domination plans and has even attempted to execute 4 of them with a, "variety of success and failure".

In September, 2012, while still studying at the University of New Haven, Lernould received a paperback copy of The Art Of War via the USPS with no return address. The gift was addressed to him and signed "The Servants of E" leading some of his fans to speculate that his world domination attempts may be legitimate, while others have concluded that this was mealy a hoax being played on the then college student.

Lernould currently lives with his girlfriend "Rachael" who often appears in both Sketchy Antics and Your Overlord, Eric. She is also notably a video game streamer on the popular streaming website twitch.tv and is known by the alias' "Ginger" and "GingerBreadRed".

Web Comics
Created in 2011, Fast Forward was Lernould's first long-running online comic. The series lasted for 3 months before it's abrupt end brought on by a website hacker who claimed to work for the hacktivist group Anonymous. The series stared a group of college students and was created as the continuation of a screenplay entitled The Dean's List that Lernould had co-wrote in 2010 with his long time friend and college roomate Dyllan Tillas.

On June 20, 2012 Lernould launched a kickstarter campaign for a new comic called The Amazingly Fantastic Adventurer's Club (also know as TAFAC). The campaign was successfully funded at 170% of it's goal and went on to spawn a 56 episode series that ended in April 2013.

Sketchy Antics, Lernould's longest running comic debuted November 11, 2013. The comic consisted of 412 episodes and ran until January 2017. During this 3 year period, Lernould became well-known among his fans and in the webcomic community, working occasionally with Shane Sheenan from Beefpaper, Tasha Dancy from Tethered, Elia Crawford from Elia in a Box, Joseph from msptoons, Danielle Corsetto from Girls With Slighshots, and many more.

Lernould went on to release Your Overlord, Eric on January 1, 2017.
