There is no question that Ware's contributions to visual culture are as much intellectual and historical as The Comics of Chris Ware: Drawing is a Way of Thinking are aesthetic, but even the greatest fan of his work might never make those connections casually. Not everyone is good at analysis, and not everyone has the education and critical background of the authors included in this book. Looking at and thining about skilled analysis of his contexts - both chosen and incidental - is fascinating not only for what it says about Ware, but what it says about the rest of contemporary comics, quite a lot of other aspects of visual culture, and what someday will be a component of the history of art of the current era. It's understandable that folks who are into Ware's apparently uncomplicated visual style might find the verbally dense academic prose a bit of a bramble patch to get through. This is not the expedient text of a comic or even a graphic novel. As the kids might say, it could be tl;dr if one purchased this book looking for comics. However, if you were looking for a variety of perspectives on Ware's work, including both criticism and praise, this is a fantastic selection of well-thought, well-written and well-edited essays. Verified Purchase. This book is an intectual commentary upon Chir Ware's art. When eggheads are compelled to comment upon a great artist like Ware's works it's going to come out like crap. These people should just kick back, smoke a joint, and keep their opinions to themselves. There's some good Ware artwork, but so what? I've got all of Ware's work, and this is the least important.

An impressive two-page spread offers the viewer a cutaway view of the company rendered in black and white, which is comprised of rooms of draughtsmen, thirty storerooms of comics, a printing machine, an art gallery, numerous dutiful secretaries, a tennis court, and an intimidating waiting room where the unfortunate researcher has paced for hours, unable to gain admittance to the secrets in- side. The innovation of Oulipo is that by inventing specific rules and limita- tions, or constraints, practitioners could open up new vistas in language and literature. Since one of the defining features of comics is sequential- ity, individual panels on the comics page can be reconceived as pieces of a puzzle that the artist can manipulate; thus, reshuffling the panels according to specific patterns is one method of creating Oubapo constraints.

He tends to use a vivid color palette and realistic, meticulous detail. His lettering and images are often elaborate and sometimes evoke the ragtime era or another early 20th-century The Comics of Chris Ware: Drawing is a Way of Thinking design style. Ware often refers to himself in the publicity for his work in self-effacing, even withering tones. He is considered by some critics and fellow notable illustrators and writers, such as Dave Eggers, to be among the best currently working in the medium; Canadian graphic-novelist Seth has said, "Chris really changed the playing field. After him, a lot of [cartoonists] really started to scramble and go, 'Holy [expletive], I think I have to try harder. In addition to numerous daily strips under different titles, Ware also had a weekly satirical science fiction serial in the paper titled Floyd Farland: Citizen of the Future. This was eventually published in as a prestige format comic book from Eclipse Comicsand its publication even led to a brief correspondence between Ware and Timothy Leary. Ware has acknowledged that being included in Raw gave him confidence and inspired him to explore printing techniques and self-publishing. His Fantagraphics series Acme Novelty Library defied comics publishing conventions with every issue. The series featured a combination of new material as well as reprints of work Ware had done for the Texan such as Quimby the Mouse and the Chicago weekly paper Newcity. Ware's work appeared originally The Comics of Chris Ware: Drawing is a Way of Thinking Newcity before he The Comics of Chris Ware: Drawing is a Way of Thinking on to his current "home", the Chicago Reader. Beginning with the 16th issue of Acme Novelty LibraryWare is self-publishing his work, while maintaining a relationship with Fantagraphics for distribution and storage. This is an interesting return to Ware's early career, when he self-published such books as Lonely Comics and Stories as well as miniature digests of stories based on Quimby the Mouse and an unnamed potato-like creature. In recent years he has also The Comics of Chris Ware: Drawing is a Way of Thinking involved in editing and designing several books and book series, including the new reprint series of Gasoline Alley from Drawn and Quarterly titled Walt and Skeezix ; a reprint series of Krazy Kat by Fantagraphics; and the 13th volume of Timothy McSweeney's Quarterly Concernwhich is devoted to comics. He was the editor of The Best American Comicsthe second installment devoted to comics in the Best American series. InWare curated an exhibition for the Phoenix Art Museum focused on the non-comic work of five contemporary cartoonists. InWare's book Monograph appeared. It is a part-memoir, part-scrapbook retrospective of his career to that point. Ware's art reflects early 20th-century American styles of cartooning and graphic designshifting through formats from traditional comic panels to faux advertisements and cut-out toys. Ware has spoken about finding inspiration in the work of artist Joseph Cornell [6] and cites Richard McGuire 's strip Here as a major influence on his use of non-linear narratives. I arrived at my way of "working" as a way of visually approximating what I feel the tone of fiction to be in prose versus the tone one might use to write biography; I would never do a biographical story using the deliberately synthetic way of cartooning I use to write fiction. I try to use the rules of typography to govern the way that I "draw", which keeps me at a sensible distance from the story as well as being a visual analog to the way we remember and conceptualize the world. I figured out this way of working by learning from and looking at artists I admired and whom I thought came closest to getting at what seemed to me to be the "essence" of comics, which is fundamentally the weird process of reading pictures, not just looking at them. I see the black outlines of cartoons as visual approximations of the way we remember general ideas, and I try to use naturalistic color underneath them to simultaneously suggest a perceptual experience, which I think is more or less the way we actually experience the world as adults; we don't really "see" anymore after a certain age, we spend our time naming and categorizing and identifying and figuring how everything all fits together. Unfortunately, as a result, I guess sometimes readers get a chilled or antiseptic sensation from it, which is certainly not intentional, and is something I admit as a failure, but is also something I can't completely change at the moment. Although his precise, geometrical layouts may appear to some to be computer-generated, Ware works almost exclusively with manual drawing The Comics of Chris Ware: Drawing is a Way of Thinking such as paper and ink, rulers and T-squares.

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.

In 1988, Gore Vidal predicted that by 2015 “The New York Review of Comic Books will doubtless replace the old NYR.” It was a joke, of course, and a warning (Vidal preferred “book books,” as he called them), but we’re just a couple of years short now, and he wasn’t all wrong. The past decades have seen an unprecedented amount of serious attention paid to comics, and for good reason: they’re better—stranger, subtler, more ambitious—than ever before.

  • Chris Ware, Marcel Proust and Henri Bergson's “Pure Duration”
    TOWARDS A PANOPTICAL REPRESENTATION OF TIME AND MEMORY: CHRIS WARE, MARCEL PROUST AND HENRI BERGSON’S “PURE DURATION” By Roberto BArtuAl SCANDINAVIAN JOURNAL OF COMIC ART (SJOCA) VOL. 1: 1 (SPRING 2012) INTRODUCTION Time And memory Are two of the most recurrent subjects in Chris WAre’s work. They Are sometimes invoked through A reflection on public history, As is the cAse of the segments of Jimmy Corrigan, the Smartest Kid on Earth thAt deAl with the 1893 World’s ColumbiAn Exhibition in ChicAgo (WAre 2000), or the strips About the origins of grAphic nArrAtive in The Acme Novelty Library Final Report to Shareholders (WAre 2005).

  • From Loose to Boxed Fragments and Back Again Seriality and Archive in Chris Ware's Building Stories
    AUTHOR PRE-PRINT; published in the Journal of Graphic Novels and Comics 9.1 (2018): 2-33, doi 10.1080/21504857.2017.1303619 https://orbi.ulg.ac.be/handle/2268/207728 From Loose to Boxed Fragments and Back Again Seriality and Archive in Chris Ware's Building Stories Benoît Crucifix FNRS – University of Liège/UCLouvain benoit.crucifix [a] gmail.com Abstract This article focuses on the dynamics of seriality, archive and collection in Chris Ware's graphic novel Building Stories, situating it within the larger context of graphic novel serializations. It argues that the dispersed serialization of Building Stories is key to understand its box-of-comics format as well as its fragmented narrative structure. In a self-reflexive homage to the material history of comics, Ware's graphic novel indeed appears as an archive of its own serialization, foregrounding a process of collecting/dispersing fragments. Keywords archive, graphic novel, materiality, Chris Ware, serialization ‘There's no writer alive whose work I love more than Chris Ware. The only problem is that it takes him ten years to draw these things and then I read them in a day and have to wait another ten years for the next one.’ This praise from British novelist Zadie Smith about Ware's graphic novel Building Stories accompanied its release and was reused by Pantheon in its promotion of the book, popping up on the title description page of every online bookstore website. But is it a book really? Smith talks about ‘these things,’ and indeed, Building Stories is precisely a collection of things drawing attention to their own objecthood: instead of a standard codex format, Ware's graphic novel came out as an oversized cardboard box filled with fourteen different items printed and bound in various formats.

  • Chris Ware La Bande Dessinée Réinventée
    Jacques Samson Benoît Peeters CHRIS WARE LA BANDE DESSINÉE RÉINVENTÉE LES IMPRESSIONS NOUVELLES INTRODUCTION Chris Ware est sans doute le plus important auteur de bande dessinée de ces dernières années, et pas seulement aux États-Unis, son pays de naissance et de résidence. L’enviable renommée qu’il a acquise en une décennie à peine repose sur une œuvre d’une inven- tivité exceptionnelle, tout entière dédiée à l’imprimé. On pourrait s’étonner d’un tel intérêt pour une technologie dont le futur paraît à certains bien menacé. Mais Chris Ware, héritier d’une tradition parmi les plus brillantes, s’est dès ses débuts consacré à la pratique exigeante et formatrice du comic strip, encore et toujours tributaire de la presse. Ce n’est pas le moindre paradoxe d’un dessinateur qui, bien que moderne, voue une admiration immodérée à de lointains inventeurs de la bande dessinée comme Rodolphe Töpffer, Winsor McCay, George Herriman ou Frank King. Ainsi, à une époque où nombre d’auteurs de comics rêvaient d’opter pour la forme plus personnelle et gratifiante dugraphic novel, Ware faisait patiemment l’apprentissage de son médium dans les livraisons hebdomadaires de journaux de province, en donnant vie à des personnages plus loufoques les uns que les autres. Complexes et souvent muettes, ces pages empreintes de dérision et de nostalgie tournaient apparemment le dos aux tendances contemporaines. Mais, parallèlement, ce créateur opiniâtre entamait l’une des plus insolites aventures éditoriales de la bande dessinée, l’Acme Novelty Library. Sous cette appellation énigmatique, il amalgamait les « meilleurs » de ses strips à des morceaux de prose de son cru, moquant la publicité ou certains médias imprimés.

  • Nostalgia, Collection and Identity in the Comics of Chris Ware
    CHAPTER SEVEN Nostalgia, Collection and Identity in the Comics of Chris Ware The work of Chris Ware forms a neat conclusion to my investigation of selfhood in alternative comics. Throughout the last six chapters I have been tracing two main themes: gender and sexuality on the one hand and childhood and memory on the other. Both of these themes have been central to Ware’s career. From his early, short Quimby the Mouse strips (1991-93, collected 2003), through the fat doorstop Jimmy Corrigan (1993-2000, collected 2000) to the currently incomplete Rusty Brown (2005-present), Ware obsessively re-treads the same ground, narrating the lives of lonely American males whose sad and traumatic childhood experiences have moulded them into damaged, dysfunctional adults. Following a brief outline of Ware’s cultural and creative background, I want to start by looking at Quimby the Mouse because it is in this early work that Ware sketches out the themes that were to become central in his later comics. I will then discuss short extracts from Jimmy Corrigan and Rusty Brown, examining the ways in which these comics dissect problems of social disconnection and troubled family relationships. I want to argue that for Ware, the comic book medium is inextricable from the lives of his protagonists, firstly through the interplay between private selfhood and the public visual language of graphic design, and secondly by the association of comics with childhood and nostalgia. Finally, I will discuss the question of why the collection and possession of comic books and other objects is such a central preoccupation for Ware.

  • The Comics of Chris Ware: Drawing Is a Way of Thinking
    Introduction: Chris Ware and the “Cult of Difficulty” MARTHA B. KUHLMAN AND DAVID M. BALL Reading Chris Ware’s comics for the first time can be a disorienting experi- ence. Why does the hardcover edition of Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth have such an enigmatic and ornate dust jacket? Where exactly are the author’s name and the title of the work, and what is the purpose of the cover’s intricate diagrams and cutout instructions? The curious few who un- fold the cover are rewarded with a map that is comprised of panels of varying sizes and orientations with abrupt shifts in scale, offering a world-historic vision of multiple generations and transatlantic connections between Irish immigration and the Middle Passage (see plate 1). Arrayed on the page with a dizzying visual intensity, these tiny scenarios are punctuated cryptically by conjunctions and phrases such as “Thus,” “But,” “And So” and traversed by a network of arrows and lines (dashed or solid) that operates according to an initially inscrutable logic. If this seems too daunting, turning to the endpa- pers reveals “General Instructions,” followed by an “Introduction” and five sections that culminate in an exam, all rendered in painfully tiny type that requires preternatural vision or bringing the book so close to your face that it almost touches your nose. As the cover warns us, what we have here is definitely “a bold experiment in reader tolerance,” and many will not have the time, interest, or patience for it. Put simply, this volume is not for them. But for those readers who, fascinated and challenged by the worlds that Ware has constructed, seek to gain new points of entry into his comics, this collection offers a range of mul- tidisciplinary perspectives that we hope will inspire lively discussions and open previously unexplored avenues for research.
