Grand Avenue, the daily and Sunday comic strip created by the 1998 Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist Steve Breen, follows the antics of an energetic pair of fraternal twins being raised by their grandmother. Distributed by United Feature Syndicate since 1999, Grand Avenue appears in more than 150 newspapers worldwide and on the Internet at www.comics.com. Newspaper clients include the Dallas Morning News, Chicago Sun-Times, Detroit News, Seattle Times, Denver Rocky Mountain News and The Gannett Newspapers of New Jersey.
Grand Avenue stars Kate Macfarlane, an avid sports fan who powerwalks to stay in shape and has strong opinions about the way she wants the kids to behave. Not your typical cookie-baking granny, Grandma Kate has her hands full with this terrific twosome, who are best buddies even though their personalities clash. Gabby is an ambitious, newspaper-reading, pig-tailed little girl who plans to become a billionaire before she's 30. Her brother Michael is a more sensitive soul who prefers riding his skateboard or performing scenes from Shakespeare to just about anything else.
"In so many families today, both parents work and Grandma ends up watching the kids," says Breen. "I thought it would be fun to do a comic strip that centered around a real, modern grandmother taking care of two cute but pretty rambunctious kids."
