Knife and Packer are Duncan McCoshan and Jem Packer, best known as illustrators/writers of children's books and cartoonists.

McCoshan and Packer first began working together in 1993 on various cartoons and cartoon strips for UK newspapers and magazines, including The Guardian and The Sunday Times. The It's Grim Up North London cartoon strip, satirising the growth of 'Islington trendies', was one of their first collaborative works and has been running in Private Eye magazine since 1999.[1]

Their first children's book was published in 2001 and they have since produced over 30 books, based on characters Zac Zoltan, Captain Fact, Freak Street and Fleabag Monkeyface.

In 2010 they were commissioned by CiTV to develop their Fleabag Monkeyface series for television, acting as key creatives in storyline and character design. They were also lead scriptwriters. The series was transmitted on ITV in Autumn 2011.
