National Cartoonists Society 2002 Newspaper Illustrator of the Year, Steve McGarry is the first overseas artist ever honored by the Australian Cartoonists Association, who awarded him the prestigious Stanley Award for illustration in 2002. The creator of the daily comic strips "POP CULTURE" and "BADLANDS," he writes and draws the daily feature "KID CITY" and his sports and entertainment features appear in newspapers and magazines worldwide. A native of Manchester, England, he now lives in Huntington Beach, California, with his wife and twin teenage sons. Having succumbed to the lure of the mullet, his trendy blonde crop was abandoned in favor of a cascade of "Kentucky waterfall" locks and a steady daily diet of beer and nachos - consumed purely in the name of research - has transformed his once-chiseled physique into a paunchy lump of lard. Displaying an astounding grasp of the genre, he writes the strip if he gets around to it ... and if there is nothing much on TV. For more McGarry stuff visit www.stevemcgarry.com
