Description Imported from USA. A lavish volume with Palookaville: No. 21 autobio comics, Palookaville: No. 21 the author of It's a Good Life, If You Don't Weaken Continuing the new semiannual hardcover format for Palookaville in volume 21, Seth presents two very different autobiographical pieces, and the continuation of Part Four of the ongoing Clyde Fans serial. In the latest dispatch from the beautifully crafted Clyde Fans, Abraham muses further on the ruins of his life. Then, in the Palookaville: No. 21 sustained sequence of the two Matchcard brothers, Abraham and Simon finally sit down together and begin to talk. It is a wryly self-conscious, often moving visit to the attic of Seth's memories: from his first attempts at cartooning to the last time he kissed his mother good night, "Nothing Lasts" is a masterpiece of the graphic short story. Finally, the third section of Palookaville: No. 21 21 consists of entries from the comic-strip diary Seth has been keeping for almost a decade. He employs a mixture of hand-drawn panels and rubber stamps of his own work to tell anecdotes about moments from his life. Nothing from this diary has ever been made public Palookaville: No. 21. This lushly designed collection of stories comprises an anthology of the different types of cartooning work Seth has done over his two-decade-long career. No Reviews Available. Seth Discusses His Return to "Palookaville" | CBR

The cartoonist known as Seth emerged as one of the major voices in comics during the s Palookaville: No. 21 on the strength of "Palookaville" series. Also a noted illustrator and designer, Seth continues to oversee Palookaville: No. 21 Complete Peanuts" from Fantagraphics and is the illustrator of the Lemony Snicket series, "All the Wrong Questions. Among them are the long running serial "Clyde Fans," journal comics, works of memoir, and various other projects. What have you learned or what have you gotten out of releasing work in this manner? Seth: I guess I've learned that the book needs to feel like a substantial read. It needs as many comics pages in it as possible. I was thinking in pamphlet terms still. A skimpy chapter segment. It's pretty packed with comics. If there is one thing I think I have learned -- one thing that will make the books better is for them to feel a touch more self-contained. That's difficult with continued stories but I Palookaville: No. 21 once "Clyde" is finally done in "Palookaville" 23 then I can try to structure each volume of the series to feel like a little more of a self-contained read. Whole chapters of a longer work that will have beginnings, middles and ends. Or stories done-in-one-issue. Fingers crossed. I ask in Palookaville: No. 21 because the old "Palookaville" -- and all comics of that time -- represented something different, and I'm curious how it manages to be something similar to that but also something new that keeps you interested? Well, the old comic and the new hardbacks are pretty different animals. I Palookaville: No. 21 the book is Palookaville: No. 21 a better fit for me. It allows a kind of freedom of content that better expresses my various endeavors and interests. Also, I like designing a book better than I liked designing a comic book. All that said though, I was fond of the old pamphlet format and I do miss some elements of it. But not all that much, surprisingly. In some ways, maybe the new Palookaville: No. 21 is a bit strange. I mean, some might think I could just wait and put out a story like "Nothing Lasts" simply as a complete book instead of putting it out in bits and pieces first. It might seem like an illogical idea Palookaville: No. 21 serialize these works -- especially nowadays the "era of the graphic novel". However the truth is, without this format I probably wouldn't even publish a work like "Nothing Palookaville: No. 21. I work on a story like that in my sketchbook with only the vague idea Palookaville: No. 21 if anything comes of it I can use it in "Palookaville. I'd be more methodical and plan it out -- draw it better too. In some manner that might kill such a self indulgent piece. It feels very direct to me. Which is good. But I probably wouldn't have written it as a standalone work. It would have seemed too self indulgent in tone and structure for a "graphic novel. I didn't even know "Nothing Lasts" would be so long when I started drawing it. It just keeps getting longer and longer Palookaville: No. 21 I Palookaville: No. 21 on it. I need that mental buffer zone of the "anthology" to give me permission to do such spontaneous, indulgent comic stories. The easy answer is that there used Palookaville: No. 21 be a store in Toronto on King Street that was the exactly the "Clyde Fans" storefront I draw in the comic. It was already closed when I first encountered it or mostly closed and I often looked inside the dark window and saw the two photo portraits on the back wall of the owners. From there it was merely an imaginative jump to start making up their lives. The more complicated answer Palookaville: No. 21 that I don't really know where the story comes from. Palookaville: No. 21 is a complex mish- mash of fragments that has somehow come together over the years to mean something much more clearly about myself and my parents than I imagined when I first planned it out. It has evolved somewhat over time but it is surprisingly like the original plan. I tried hard then and now to not consciously give too much thought or obvious meaning to what I was writing. I knew, somehow, that it would all make some strange sense in the end. That seems to Palookaville: No. 21 working out so far from my perspective. Has your thinking about the story or the characters in "Clyde Fans" changed over time? Particularly as you've been making the new chapters the centerpiece of each "Palookaville" volume? As mentioned in the last answer, yes and no. No, not much has changed in the overall plan for the characters and the story since I began it sooooooo long ago. But, yes, small elements have slightly altered over the span of the work. I've come to understand connections in the story that I didn't see originally. New sequences have appeared. Some elements got bigger, some smaller. A couple of story points will Palookaville: No. 21 fixing up when I eventually collect the work. In a lot of Palookaville: No. 21 it is remarkably as I planned it eons ago -- but in other ways it has subtly evolved into a more subtle work. What can we look forward to in Part 5 of "Clyde Fans? Part five, fingers crossed, will be printed entirely in "Palookaville" It is the shortest chapter of the book. I don't want to give anything away but let me Palookaville: No. 21 say it will either be entirely what my readers expect for an ending or just the opposite. I'm not really sure Palookaville: No. 21 people expect. To me, of course, it is the perfect ending -- simply because I have always known exactly how the story would "wrap up. Simple answer, the story had more to tell. The section in "Palookaville" 21 was never intended to be the whole piece. I figured out somewhere in the first 40 pages or so that I would write Palookaville: No. 21 story up to the end of young adulthood. At this point I imagine there are still about two installments of "Nothing Lasts" to go. It Palookaville: No. 21 end up about twice as long as I expected from when I started it. I ask in part because you've done little autobiographical work and in "Palookaville" we've seen these comics and your journal. Did your perspective on it change? Essentially I feel like everything I do is autobiographical in some way, shape or form. I don't really even think much about these distinctions any longer. Every new strip just feels like another logical step from whatever I was working on before it. Palookaville: No. 21 work is all of such a piece that often Palookaville: No. 21 themes from one work to the next are so similar that the readers probably get weary of my voice. I can't really help that. As an artist I feel like I am simply exploring my own path. Everything that I do seems inevitable. Maybe that means I'm not pushing myself into new territory -- I don't know. I sometimes wonder if I should do a different kind of story to "shake things up. I suspect though that these cosmetic changes wouldn't much affect my themes. Those stories would probably end up feeling just like my usual stuff. Who knows, I may still try such an experiment. The third feature of the book is a photo essay of the Crown Barbershop and a comic about being a barber. Which came first? And why barbering? Why barbering? Because my wife is a barber. Pure and simple. I know a lot Palookaville: No. 21 barbering through osmosis alone. I designed the barber shop as a gift Palookaville: No. 21 her -- but also as a personal indulgence. A pure pleasure. I mean, I was trying to create a real space that would work as a real business and I was trying to please myself -- somewhere in between those two positions it ended up fitting in as an important part of my "body of work. I loved making that shop. It is a great pleasure to make something "physical" like that. Of course it was also nice to have a "client" who pretty much let me do whatever I wanted. I did want Palookaville: No. 21 ask about some of your other work. For example, you're illustrating the new Lemony Snicket series. What do you find interesting about projects like this? Sometimes it is good and the work turns out to be important to you and sometimes it is not so great and you wish you could retreat to your "ivory tower. I've learned a lot collaborating on that series and probably I will do my own children's book in a year or two. I imagine that Daniel and I will do another book together sometimes soon too. I like to keep a finger or two in a few pies. Seth Palookaville #21 Preliminary Original Art Clyde Fans Pt 4 P36
