Stickleback

• Grickle — 2002 YALSA Best Graphic Novel for Young Adults nominee
• Grickle — 2002 Harvey Awards nominee — Best New Talent

This funny, quirky sketch of friendship, confrontation, and the desire to be left alone, comes from the award-winning creator of the Grickle graphic novels, Graham Annable. An eccentric George Stickleback spends life in his apartment with his cat Patty surrounded by meticulously arranged men of toilet paper. A mission from the outside world to console a friend imposes an unwelcome break in Mr. Stickleback's routine.

"Annable's illustration style, more in tune with animation than with traditional comics art, has a pliability that allows the stories it carries to veer from wild exaggeration to understated pathos at the whim of the artist."
— The Comics Journal
