STICKLEBACK
Graham Annable, . . Alternative Comics, $6.95 (48pp) ISBN 978-1-891867-80-4
George Stickleback lives in his apartment with a cat named Patty and creates tiny figures out of toilet paper. When his friend Yanni interrupts his artistic process with a crisis, George takes the crosstown bus to a diner for a sit-down with his buddy. Obnoxious drunks, a bathroom with negligible privacy, urination as self-defense, unintentional harm to his friend, a trip to the hospital, an abnormally long fingernail and unexpected creative inspiration make up the rest of this thin graphic novel that is significantly lacking in serious action.
