BRIAN CRANE
Brian Crane: The Heart and Humor Behind Pickles
Brian Crane, born in Twin Falls, Idaho, and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, always had a passion for drawing. Though he originally doubted his ability to write a daily comic strip, he built a successful career as a graphic designer and art director before returning to his childhood dream. At nearly 40, Crane created Pickles, a comic strip centered around the humorous lives of an elderly couple and their family.
Syndicated by the Washington Post Writers Group since 1990, Pickles now appears in around 1,000 newspapers worldwide. The strip earned the National Cartoonist Society’s Best Comic Strip award in 2001, and in 2013, Crane received the prestigious Reuben Award for Cartoonist of the Year. He continues to create Pickles from his home studio in Sparks, Nevada, with help from his daughter Emily, who colors the strips. Brian and his wife Diana recently celebrated 45 years of marriage and are proud grandparents to 18 grandchildren.
