Product Description

Straggling behind the mild 2003 success of cartoonist Chris Wares first facsimile collection of his miscellaneous sketches notes and adolescent fantasies arrives this second volume updating weary readers with Wares clichéd and outmoded insights from the late twentieth century. Working directly in pen and ink watercolor and whiteout whenever he makes a mistake Ware has cannily edited out all legally sensitive and personally incriminating material from his private journals carefully recomposing each page to simulate the appearance of an ordered mind and established aesthetic directive. All phone numbers references to exgirlfriends false starts and embarrassing experiments with unfamiliar drawing media have been generously excised to present the reader with the most pleasant and colorful sketchbook reading experience available. Included are Wares frustrated doodles for his book covers angry personal assaults on friends halffinished comic strips and lengthy and tiresome fulminations of personal disappointments both social and sexual as well as his nowbeloved drawings of the generally miserable inhabitants of the city of Chicago. All in all a necessary volume for fans of fine art waterbased media and personal diatribe. This hardcover is attractively designed and easy to resell.
