Cat vs. Alien

I’m not a cat person, nor do I particularly respect those who are, but if a cat saved me from an alien abduction, as this tabby does, well, I’d be forced to reconsider. Here’s a biography of Botched creator Graham Annable:

As an employee of George Lucas’s game company, LucasArts, Mr. Annable has worked on a variety of interactive productions over the past 10 years. Some of these titles included Full Throttle, The Dig, Outlaws and the award winning Curse of Monkey Island. With the inevitable shift towards the world of 3D animation Graham found himself needing an outlet in which to continue crafting his drawing skills. Thus the first self-published booklets of Grickle started appearing on the small press shelves at Comic Relief in Berkeley.

Jeff Mason has now been publishing Mr. Annable’s comics since 2001 under the Alternative Comics label. Along with the Grickle books he has collaborated on and edited the Hickee humor anthology comics also available from Mr. Mason. Hickee was born out of friends involved in the professional animation and games industry hanging out together and drawing in cafes. Graham was a nominee for the “Best New Talent” Harvey Award in 2002. In 2004 he was voted as “Best Unknown Local Cartoonist” by the San Francisco Weekly. His work can also be found in Papercutter #3 published by Tugboat Press.
