The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Cartoonist, Adrian Tomine's funniest and most revealing foray into autobiography, offers an array of unexpected answers. When a sudden medical incident lands Tomine in the emergency room, he begins to question if it was really all worthwhile: despite the accolades and opportunities of a seemingly charmed career, it's the gaffes, humiliations, slights, and insults he's experienced (or caused) within the industry that loom largest in his memory. Tomine illustrates the amusing absurdities of how we choose to spend our time, all the while mining his conflicted relationship with comics and comics culture. But in between chaotic book tours, disastrous interviews, and cringe-inducing interactions with other artists, life happens: he fumbles his way into marriage, parenthood, and an indisputably fulfilling existence. A richer emotional story emerges as his memories are delineated in excruciatingly hilarious detail. In a bold stylistic departure from his award-winning Killing and Dying, he distills his art to the loose, lively essentials of cartooning, each pen stroke economically imbued with human depth. Designed as a sketchbook complete with placeholder ribbon and an elastic band, The Loneliness of the Long- Distance Cartoonist shows an acclaimed artist at the peak of his career."--Amazon. 600 10 Tomine, Adrian,|d1974- 600 10 Tomine, Adrian,|d1974-|vBiography|vComic books, strips, etc. 600 17 Tomine, Adrian,|d1974-|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01531730 650 0 Cartoonists|zUnited States|vBiography. 650 0 Cartoonists|vBiography|vComic books, strips, etc. 650 0 Work and family|vComic books, strips, etc. 650 7 Work and family.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01180235 650 7 Cartoonists.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00848081 651 7 United States.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204155 655 0 Graphic novels. 655 7 Graphic novels.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01726630 655 7 Comic books, strips, etc.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423722 655 7 Biographies.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 Autobiographical comics.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01921583 655 7 Comics (Graphic works)|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01921613 655 7 Nonfiction comics.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01921721 655 7 Graphic novels.|2gsafd 655 7 Graphic novels.|2lcgft 655 7 Autobiographical comics.|2lcgft 655 7 Nonfiction comics.|2lcgft 655 7 Comics (Graphic works)|2lcgft 914 FARM273661 994 C0|bWHP
