I recognized myself in him, my friends, and felt terrible heartbreak. If there's a common complaint directed at Ware as a storyteller, it's that his stories tend to be unremittingly depressing, bleak tales of pathetic characters living unsatisfying lives. I'm sorry. Additional details. Includes all of the cartoons from the author's ACME novelty library, issues 7 and 15, and previously uncollected material arranged as a fictitous annual report. To view it, click here. Published November 9th by Drawn and Quarterly first published October 12th I get the feeling that Ware himself doesn't have much affection for Lint, and yet he isn't unfair to him. The story was depressing. Read more Lint graduated from UNL in with a B. Cover of Acme Novelty Library No. No trivia or quizzes yet. Shelves: merkins , graphic-novels. Enlarge cover. Book Format. His specialty is observing the entire life of a solitary loser or asshole in minute detail. The book mostly deals with the adult version of Jimmy Corrigan, an awkward and shy man, who is unable to make social contact, and who consequently is incredibly lonely and depressed. Readers also enjoyed. Acme Novelty Library #20 1st edition Writer I read Jimmy Corrigan, the Smartest Kid on Earth a number of years ago and remember really enjoying it. It's hard for me to tell whether Ware's attitude toward Lint is one of contempt or grudging sympathy; I suspect the former, but, still, Ware does the hard work of delving into Lint's psyche and finding toeholds of human interest. -

20 a 23.08.2013 Wilson/Lint: Biografía, Comic Independiente
Escola de Comunicações e Artes – Universidade de São Paulo – 20 a 23.08.2013 Wilson/Lint: biografía, comic independiente y la cualidad literaria Amadeo Gandolfo UBA (Facultad de Ciencias Sociales) – Conicet. Buenos Aires, Argentina. RESUMO En este trabajo analizaremos dos comics de Chris Ware y Daniel Clowes, “Lint” y “Wilson”, publicados durante 2010. Comparten una serie de características: son intentos de realizar la biografía de personajes sumamente desagradables, que en otro contexto serían vistos como villanos y no protagonistas de su propia historia; ambos siguen a sus personajes presentándonos todo lo que les sucede desde su punto de vista, obligándonos a ver las cosas como ellos las ven; ambos lidian con la propia historia del medio y las influencias de sus autores de una forma que incorpora estas en el texto; finalmente, la manera en que ambos fueron publicados habla de una situación cambiante dentro del campo del comic independiente norteamericano, su industria, sus formatos y las discusiones alrededor de su cualidad literaria. Observaremos ambas obras centrándonos fundamentalmente en la manera en que sus autores eligen abordar el género de la biografía y las decisiones estéticas que toman a la hora de representar la vida de sus protagonistas. Pero, también, colocaremos ambos trabajos en la obra más extensa de Ware y Clowes y en el lugar ocupan dentro de esa constelación conocida como comics independientes. También diseccionaremos sus elecciones formales en términos narrativos. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: comics independientes, biografía, cualidad literaria. 1. INTRODUCCIÓN El objetivo de este trabajo será el análisis de Lint y de Wilson, dos historietas autoconclusivas producidas por Chris Ware y Daniel Clowes, respectivamente, publicadas por la editorial Drawn & Quarterly durante el 2010. -
Aesthetics, Taste, and the Mind-Body Problem in American Independent Comics
PAPER TOWER: AESTHETICS, TASTE, AND THE MIND-BODY PROBLEM IN AMERICAN INDEPENDENT COMICS William Timothy Jones A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2014 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Esther Clinton © 2014 William Timothy Jones All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Comics studies, as a relatively new field, is still building a canon. However, its criteria for canon-building has been modeled largely after modernist ideas about formal complexity and criteria for disinterested, detached, “objective” aesthetic judgment derived from one of the major philosophical debates in Western thought: the mind-body problem. This thesis analyzes two American independent comics in order to dissect the aspects of a comic work that allow it to be categorized as “art” in the canonical sense. Chris Ware’s Building Stories is a sprawling, Byzantine comic that exhibits characteristically modernist ideas about the subordination of the body to the mind and art’s relationship to mass culture. Rob Schrab’s Scud: The Disposable Assassin provides a counterpoint to Building Stories in its action-heavy stylistic approach, developing ideas about the merging of the mind and the body and the artistic and the commercial. Ultimately, this thesis advocates for a re -evaluation of comics criticism that values the subjective, emotional, and the popular as much as the “objective” areas of formal complexity and logic. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS To Anna O’Brien, for the original germ of this idea and hours of enlightening conversation and companionship. To Jeremy Wallach and Esther Clinton, whose emphatic response to the paper that eventually became this thesis was instrumental to my belief in the quality of my work. -

Writing About Comics
NACAE National Association of Comics Art Educators English 100-v: Writing about Comics From the wild assertions of Unbreakable and the sudden popularity of films adapted from comics (not just Spider-Man or Daredevil, but Ghost World and From Hell), to the abrupt appearance of Dan Clowes and Art Spiegelman all over The New Yorker, interesting claims are now being made about the value of comics and comic books. Are they the visible articulation of some unconscious knowledge or desire -- No, probably not. Are they the new literature of the twenty-first century -- Possibly, possibly... This course offers a reading survey of the best comics of the past twenty years (sometimes called “graphic novels”), and supplies the skills for reading comics critically in terms not only of what they say (which is easy) but of how they say it (which takes some thinking). More importantly than the fact that comics will be touching off all of our conversations, however, this is a course in writing critically: in building an argument, in gathering and organizing literary evidence, and in capturing and retaining the reader's interest (and your own). Don't assume this will be easy, just because we're reading comics. We'll be working hard this semester, doing a lot of reading and plenty of writing. The good news is that it should all be interesting. The texts are all really good books, though you may find you don't like them all equally well. The essays, too, will be guided by your own interest in the texts, and by the end of the course you'll be exploring the unmapped territory of literary comics on your own, following your own nose. -
