Hey everyone! I'll be getting a chance to speak to Grickle and Puzzle Agent creator Graham Annable in the near future and I wanted to see if there was anything the Telltale Games community was dying to know.

If you have a question for Graham, post it in this thread. Please keep your question count limited to one (1), but you can go in and edit or change your question if you so desire after the fact. While I can't promise I'll be able to ask him everyone's question, I'll do my best in getting as many answered as possible.

Look for Graham Annable's answers to the Telltale Games community's questions as we get closer to the Puzzle Agent 2 launch!

    Ooh! I love these!! My question for Graham is:

    When creating your art, what's your favourite medium?

    Yay! Questions! :D

    Have you faced any difficulty in bringing the Hidden People, who previously only existed in your short videos, into a full length game while still keeping their mysterious charm?

    I'm not sure if this was a decision on your part or Telltale's, but how exactly did the idea of doing a Professor Layton-style puzzle game in your art style come to be?

    Some of your characters are really great. Why don't you use them more often? For example, I simply love the entire idea of Principle Skeleton. I would really like to see him in more than just two cartoons.
    If we could have interacted with him in the game as well it would've been really awesome. :) Why don't you make a mini-series with him?

    Hey G-man!

    Were there characters from your shorts, not including the hidden people, considered to be the main antagonist of Puzzle Agent?

    Graham,

    I'm a big fan of your Grickle comics and youtube animated shorts. What would you recommend to a prospective cartoonist in order to gain exposure and make a living off of cartooning?

    Thanks,

    What kind of reference material did you consult for the town of Scoggins? Is there anything you would consider a major inspiration to set Puzzle Agent in this location in particular?

    Are you noticing an increase in terms of the respect puzzle games get? Are we getting closer to having these games accepted as an art form?

    With the popularity and attention that Puzzle agent received, do you have any desire to move past these types of games with the Grickle characters? Maybe something bigger, since the games were part of the Pilot Program.

    I love your art and admire your sense of ... err... people, I guess.

    Is there any chance you will be working for a company which gives you complete creative freedom for...say...5 games a year in the near future?

    Because it should. Not trusting in you would be a telltale sign of a bad business decision ;)

    For the story of Puzzle Agent did you get any inspiration from the 1990's TV show Twin Peaks, or are any similarities complete coincidence?

    Hi Graham. I'm a big fan, love the comics. I only have the Book of Grickle, but I hope that the earlier Grickle books will become available again sometime.

    I was wondering what your plans are for the Dank/Dunk comic, as it hasn't been updated for a couple of weeks now. Is it something that will keep going until the end of time, or do you have a definitive end in sight (possibly connecting it with Puzzle Agent)? Also, what's the story behind this (quite old) picture?
