From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Steven Appleby is a cartoonist and illustrator living in Britain. He is a dual citizen of the UK and Canada. His humour is usually observational or absurd.

His work first appeared in the New Musical Express in 1984 with the Captain Star comic strip, it was later made into an animated cartoon series in 1997. Since then his work has appeared in many publications including The Times and the Daily Telegraph and can currently be seen in The Guardian, the Sunday Telegraph and the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. His work also appeared on album covers, most notably on Trompe le Monde by the Pixies.

His series of cartoons Steven Appleby's Normal Life was successful enough not only to be translated into German, but also to be made into a radio series for BBC Radio 4. An earlier series Small Birds Singing, which ran for a few years in The Times and subsequently moved to the Telegraph, concerned itself with the usually surreal doings of the occupants of an English country house.
