Download or read book Acme Novelty Datebook Volume Two written by Chris Ware and published by Drawn and Quarterly. This book was released on 2007-12-10 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Straggling behind the mild 2003 success of cartoonist Chris Ware's first facsimile collection of his miscellaneous sketches, notes, and adolescent fantasies arrives this second volume, updating weary readers with Ware's clichéd and outmoded insights from the late twentieth century. Working directly in pen and ink, watercolor, and white-out 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 ex-girlfriends, "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 Ware's frustrated doodles for his book covers, angry personal assaults on friends, half-finished comic strips, and lengthy and tiresome fulminations of personal disappointments both social and sexual, as well as his now-beloved drawings of the generally miserable inhabitants of the city of Chicago. All in all, a necessary volume for fans of fine art, water-based media, and personal diatribe. This hardcover is attractively designed and easy to resell.

Book excerpt: "After four years of almost exclusively repackaging his sophomoric early work for the book trade, the children's entertainer and award-winning calligrapher F. C. Ware returns to his groundbreaking 1990s cartoon series "The ACME Novelty Library," a nearly decade-long publishing experiment which more or less single-handedly demonstrated the redemptive power a fancy paper stock or a little gold foil might exert over an otherwise dull, dry visual narrative.

Download or read book Chris Ware written by Jean Braithwaite and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virtuoso Chris Ware (b. 1967) has achieved some noteworthy firsts for comics. The Guardian First Book Award for Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth was the first major UK literary prize awarded for a graphic novel. In 2002 Ware was the first cartoonist included in the Whitney Biennial. Like Art Spiegelman or Alison Bechdel, Ware thus stands out as an important crossover artist who has made the wider public aware of comics as literature. His regular New Yorker covers give him a central place in our national cultural conversation. Since the earliest issues of ACME Novelty Library in the 1990s, cartoonist peers have acclaimed Ware's distinctive, meticulous visual style and technical innovations to the medium. Ware also remains a literary author of the highest caliber, spending many years to create thematically complex graphic masterworks such as Building Stories and the ongoing Rusty Brown. Editor Jean Braithwaite compiles interviews displaying both Ware's erudition and his quirky self-deprecation. They span Ware's career from 1993 to 2015, creating a time-lapse portrait of the artist as he matures. Several of the earliest talks are reprinted from zines now extremely difficult to locate. Braithwaite has selected the best broadcasts and podcasts featuring the interview-shy Ware for this volume, including new transcriptions. An interview with Marnie Ware from 2000 makes for a delightful change of pace, as she offers a generous, supremely lucid attitude toward her husband and his work. Candidly and humorously, she considers married life with a cartoonist in the house. Brand-new interviews with both Chris and Marnie Ware conclude the volume.

The scope, the ambition, the artistry and emotional heft of this project are beyond anything even Chris Ware has achieved before.

Download or read book The Book of Time written by Colin Wilson and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " We consider that we are constantly aware of the passage of time, and yet we understand next to nothing of its nature. In an instinctive way, we accept time as invariant, immutable, and feel somehow that the foundations of our world are rocking when we are told that the passage of time does indeed vary, depending on the situation of the person measuring that passage. Our surprise is a result of thousands of years of conditioning, during which Man has measured time with ever greater accuracy and hence come increasingly to rely upon its inviolability. The book takes as its subject time and Man's relationship with it. The scope includes many aspects of philosophy, hstory, anthropology, horology and physical science, and it is this multidisciplinary nature which is the source of The Book of Time's unique fascination. Among the topics discussed are the measurements of time, from the earliest crude sundials to the most refined modern atomic clocks, the development of the calendar, the cycle of the seasons, biological clocks and 'bodytime', the measurement of the timescales of the reote past over the thirteen billion years since the Universe was born, and the phenomena that defy all normal rules of common sense and yet are direct manifestations of the real nature of time. 'The Book of Time' is, in addition, full of absorbing sidelights on subjects as diverse at the harmony of the spheres, the reasons why all human beings have approximately the same pulse-rate, the evolution of the clock escapement, and the possibilities of time travel and the paradoxes inherent therein. 'The Book of Time' is by a panel of seven distinguished authors, each of whom has written that section of the book most closely allied to his own field." -- Book Jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE LONG-AWAITED NEW VOLUME FROM THE CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED ARCHIVAL COLLECTION OF FRANK KING'S CLASSIC STRIP In this fourth volume of Walt and Skeezix, the newly married Walt Wallet settles into domestic life with his wife, Phyllis, and their adopted son, Skeezix, but their family bliss is soon disrupted by a man who claims to be Skeezix's natural father. A long custody battle erupts, raising questions as to the importance of blood ties compared with a loving environment. Later, Walt and Phyllis have to deal with all the dilemmas of a young couple's life as their family starts to unexpectedly expand. This is the very stuff of life—paying the bills, nursing a sick child, finding the right job while spending quality time with family—expertly explored with cartoonist Frank King's unerring fidelity to reality. In unfolding the drama of the Wallet family's life, King displays his full mastery of long and complex narratives, which made his work a forerunner to the modern graphic novel. In his introduction to the series, Jeet Heer explores King's storytelling prowess and links the concerns of the strip with changes in American culture in the 1920s. Lavishly illustrated with King's family photos, the book is designed by Chris Ware, whose elegant and detail-rich books have revolutionized the graphic novel field.
