Maria Schneider is an American humorist, cartoonist and illustrator best known for her work with the satirical online newspaper The Onion.
Schneider is also the creator of the comic strip Pathetic Geek Stories, which illustrates tales of pain and humiliation, usually during adolescence, sent to her by readers.
Born and raised in Madison, Wisconsin, Schneider moved to New York City with the staff of The Onion in 2001.
In 2004, Pathetic Geek Stories formally ceased to be a feature in The Onion, moving to its own Web site at www.patheticgeekstories.com.
Maria Schneider is occasionally confused with the actress of the same name, who co-starred with Marlon Brando in the movie Last Tango in Paris.
