Download or read book Haway Man Klaus written by RICHARD. SHORT and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-13 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Haway Man, Klaus! is the first full-length collection of comic strips charting the un-adventures of Klaus, Richard Short's pensive, anthropomorphic cat. Reinvigorating the classic comic strip, Short salutes Charles Schulz's Peanuts, Tove Jansson's Moomins and Japanese cartooning masters, before veering quickly into an original, strange and utterly unique world of screwball comedy and poetic rumination. Short's wit, at times gentle, at times acerbic, is expressed through his mastery of clear-line cartooning, revealing a tapestry of relatable human emotion through a cast of offbeat characters. Occupying a wholly original space in the current landscape of cartooning, Haway Man, Klaus! breathes new life into the comic strip format.

Download or read book Portrait of a Drunk written by Florent Ruppert and published by Fantagraphics Books. This book was released on 2020-04-22 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this graphic novel, three cutting-edge, world-renowned cartoonists team up to tell a tale of an 18th-century pirate ― one who's more gallows fodder than a Hollywood swashbuckler. Guy is no master mariner, with a clipped red (or black) beard. He's just an ordinary member of the crew ― able enough, but also a lazy, cowardly liar, a drunkard, and a thief. His story is told in two allegorical parts: "The Blowout" and "The Hangover." Three contemporary comics titans, Belgian Olivier Schrauwen (Parallel Lives) and the French duo Ruppert and Mulot (The Perineum Technique) collaborate to bring you the best pictorial and narrative elements of the great tales of the sea ― bright colors, grand battles, gallows humor ― in this tour de force of black comedy.
Download or read book Tummy Bugs written by LEOMI. SADLER and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-13 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set across fantastical and distorted natural landscapes, Sadler weaves obscure snapshot narratives that attract and repulse the reader in equal measure. Frequently dealing in fantasy, science fiction and the world of nature, with characters that are fluid, naive and absurd, Sadler's comics are elliptical and thought provoking. Collecting Leomi Sadler's energetic work for the first time, Tummy Bugs serves as both an introduction and a retrospective to Sadler's deeply personal and exciting cartooning voice.

Download or read book Seasonal Shift Comics 2013 2019 written by Lala Albert and published by . This book was released on 2019-11-28 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frequently dealing in sci-fi, erotica and the intersection between the two genres, Lala's comics are often an expression of her 'corporeal ambivalence', feeling at odds with her body. Indeed, her characters seem liquid and often lack solidity of line, endlessly morphing into new shapes and blurring into the landscapes in which they exist. The way we show ourselves to the world and the masks we wear are recurring themes in Lala's work. Depicting vulnerability, touch and tender moments of contact between characters injects a sense of realism to Lala's otherworldly imagery.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2009, Bharath Murthy took refuge as a lay Buddhist.

Download or read book Offshore Lightning written by Nazuna Saito and published by Drawn and Quarterly. This book was released on 2023-10-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anxiety and longing suffuse incisive portraits of postwar Japan Nazuna Saito began making comics late. She was in her forties when she submitted a story to a major Japanese publishing house and won an award for newcomers. She continued to work through the 1990s until she stopped drawing to take care of her ailing parents. In her sixties, she took a job teaching drawing at Kyoto Seika University and became inspired by her talented students. When she returned to teaching, her storytelling interests had shifted. Before suffering a stroke she drew “In Captivity” (2012) and “Solitary Death Building” (2015)—both focused on aging and death. Offshore Lightning collects Saito’s early work as well as these two recent graphic novellas. Stories like “Buy Dog Food and Go Home” and “Offshore Lightning” focus on middle-aged men caught in a cycle of self pity and self reflection. Saito gently pokes fun at their anguish and self-involvement while capturing the pathos of these men as they revisit childhood friendships and lost loves. By contrast, “In Captivity” follows three siblings visiting their ailing mother who is succumbing to dementia and resentful at her loss of agency. The siblings take a drive as they reckon with balancing the painful legacy of her caustic personality with attempting to honor this woman at the end of her life. “Solitary Death Building” documents an eccentric cast of elderly gossips as death descends upon the housing complex where they all live.

In 2004, having never before left Japan, 56-year-old manga author Yukichi Yamamatsu travelled to India, armed with little money, less English, no sigmoid colon, and absolutely no idea of what to expect. He did, however, bring with him his formidable art skills, a missionary zeal for spreading Japanese comics culture, and a keen pair of eyes--through which we are treated to a hilarious, brutally honest look at India as it presents itself to the foreign visitor. This is the true story of Yukichi's adventures--playing marbles, searching for bathrooms, betting on horses, visiting a brothel--and his madcap mission to sell Hindi translations of samurai manga on the mean streets of the nation's capital.
