Steven Appleby (born in 1956) is a cartoonist, illustrator and artist 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, which was made into an animated cartoon series in 1997. ''Captain Star'' also appeared in ''The Observer'', ''Zeit Magazin'', and various comics in the UK, Europe and America. Other comic strips appeared in many publications including ''The Times'' and the ''Sunday Telegraph''. The strip ''Loomus'' can currently be seen in ''The Guardian''. His work has also appeared on album covers, most notably on ''Trompe le Monde'' by the Pixies. In 2014 he produced over 100 drawings for Black Francis & Josh Frank's novel ''The Good Inn''. His series of cartoons ''Steven Appleby's Normal Life'' was successful enough not only to be translated into German and published in ''Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung'', but also to be made into a radio series for BBC Radio 4. An earlier series, ''Small Birds Singing'', which ran for eight years in ''The Times'', concerned itself with the usually surreal doings of the occupants of an English country house. Appleby has also had many exhibitions of paintings, published over 20 books and collaborated on a musical play, ''Crocs In Frocks'' (with Teresa Early and Roger Gosling), which was staged in Camberwell and at the ICA, London, in 2006. His most recent book, ''Guide to Life'', was published by Guardian Books in October 2012. ==Personal life== Appleby was born in Northumberland in 1956.
