jimmy corrigan appreciation thread

these are by far my favourite ever comics.. so much
atmosphere, and so totally stylish. pretty disturbing
stuff. disfunctional family relationships beautifully
observed. narrative is handled really fluidly and the
detail is incredible. its totally anal.
all acme comics are pretty kickin but jimmy really
outclasses everything.

I'll agree with comment about it being anal.

"Oof! Good one son. I won't be getting up soon after that"

chris ware is a quality comic artist and designer. jimmy
corrigan is one of my favorite comics of all time in the
history of the world since i have been alive. i came to this
realization recently.

the bio on ware is really interesting as well, more in depth
info about his art, design and influences. check it out if
you get a chance!!

i'm reading it... brilliant ideas in it.

but to tell the truth, the more i'm reading it, the more i'm
feeling uncomfortable... the story/life of jimmy is so...
bleak.
