Since Lackadaisy was first introduced as a comic series in 2006, Tracy J. Butler has been producing related illustrations, drawings, tutorial guides, side comics, and other assorted materials of a decidedly unserious nature. This book is a collection of a great many of those things, as well an exploration of the lives and backgrounds of the characters who inhabit this jazzy world of the past.

Tracy Butler was born in 1980 in Springfield, Massachusetts. She studied biology for a year at Our Lady of the Elms College in Massachusetts, before returning to her art. She created a website with some of her work, which led to a job offer from Simutronics, a Missouri game development company. Butler performed illustration and graphic design work before moving into 3D character design and animation. After living in St. Louis for some time, she purchased a 100-year-old house and began researching its history, as well as that of the local neighborhood, and ultimately the history of St. Louis itself. Combined with her interest in jazz music and the characters she had designed in school, this led to her starting Lackadaisy in July 2006.
