Ayun Halliday (pronounced "Ann"; born March 29, 1965) is an American writer and actor. She is best known as the author and illustrator (or, as Halliday herself terms it, "the chief primatologist") of the long-running zine The East Village Inky. The zine got its name from Halliday's living in New York City's East Village, and "Inky" being the nickname of her then-infant daughter India. Her first graphic novel, Peanut, was published in December 2012 and was positively reviewed by The New York Times.
