ComicsAlliance got the chance to speak with some of the film’s creative team at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. Yesterday, we presented our interview with Laika CEO / lead animator Travis Knight, and today we follow up with our conversation with the film's co-directors Anthony Stacchi and Graham Annable.

If you thought you'd seen the last of Grickle creator Graham Annable's comic commentary on your favorite TV shows after Lost wrapped earlier this year, then think again. After catching the first four episodes of AMC's The Walking Dead, the cartoonist is back at lovingly parodying his televised dramas of choice...

Just in time for Halloween, ComicsAlliance favorite Graham Annable returns with a spooky new animated episode of Grickle. Titled "Performance," Annable's short puts a distinctively twisted, er, twist on that most awkward of events: the school talent show...

Pokémon can evolve into scary realistic things when put into the hands of the right artists, and a cabal of creators including Meredith Gran of "Octopus Pie" and Aaron Diaz of "Dresden Codak" has unleashed a Tumblr account full of original creature entries imagining themselves as Water, Poison and Dark types with cartoonist-appropriate abilities...

I confess that I've been at least a little addicted to Graham Annable (AKA Grickle) and Telltale Games' "Nelson Tethers: Puzzle Agent" this past week.
