Don’t let the doorknob hit you where the good lord split you. Unreadable drek in the NYT. I liked his work in Acme, but here it was just dull as dishwater and hard to read too.

Bleh. I think it’s killed my desire to further read Ware.

I have Parts 1-29 and the Epilogue, if you need me to send them to you for hosting or whatever.

I thoroughly enjoyed it. I’d like to see the Times continue its slightly skewed take on the Sunday Funnies with contributions by other modern graphic-novelist-types.

I’m with Tom. Trying to capture the feeling of ennui and the mundane doesn’t mean the work has to exemplify both. I am enjoying Rusty Brown quite a bit, though.

I really like Chris Ware. This one, though…I dunno. It started out interesting, but it ended feeling rather detatched and ultimately pretty empty. But considering the subject matter, maybe that’s what he was going for?

The page with file name Part 14 (dated 12.18.05) is part 14, 10 a.m. Either Ware or the Times printed it with the wrong date. The files Part 12 and Part 13 are both Part 12. The missing file is the real Part 13 (dated 12.11.05) and you can still find it at
http://www.nytimes.com/packages/pdf/magazine/20051211_FUNNY.pdf. By the way, all the files still seem to be “up.” Just put in the appropriate date (2005etc). It just doesn’t have a current link on the NY Times site.

[...] Chris Ware is a comic book artist whose work has broken through to the mainstream primarily due to his graphic novel Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth. He’s also done some cool illustration work for the New York Times, among other things (wikipedia). Combining a lost-Brooklyn nostalgia with modern melancholic existentialism, his work is character-rich, sweet-and-sour, and illustrated with spare mechanical intricacy. The idea of a virtual walk-on part, in addition to being cool, is thus a rarity – and it’s for a good cause, the First Amendment Project.
