Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. I was so happy when I opened this!!!

I love this artist and have been following his work since 2003, when I had a job at an indy bookstore and was introduced to his work. If you are not aware of him, hopefully you can get a sense of his work from some of the pictures here. His work is not only visually original, compelling,and graphically incredible, but combined with his themes and writing they are -IMO- the epitome of pathos,or comically bathos - you decide. I want everyone to see and read his work. Maybe it's not everyones preferred style. But his characters are people that we all can recognize, perhaps even see ourselves in. I don't like to drop the Genius title too freely. I think it may apply with Chris Ware.

So THANK YOU again Secret Santa for fullfilling the top of my list!
