Griffin Reed is clearly a pen name. Why? Well, by day he's a serious artist type, but honestly his most important job is chief eye-roll inducer for his teenage daughter. "Griffin Reed" sounds more like the name of a superhero's alter ego… or maybe a not-so-successful magician. It's definitely not the moniker he uses for his other artistic endeavors. But when it comes to being the resident dad-joke champion for his amazing daughter, this pseudonym lets him embrace his inner goofball. Because in a world that can be far too serious sometimes, a little laughter is the best kind of magic.
