Oh hey, this is written by Chris Ware. It makes sense that he would be a huge fan of Scarry.

- ZeroGravitas 2y agoAnd if anyone isn't aware of Chris, he writes and draws amazing, deep, hilarious and sometimes sad graphic novels that defy genre constraints and appeal to and resonate with introverts and nerds. Highly recommended.
- throw4847285 2y agoYeah, though I think I read too many Ware comics and burned out on him a little. There's almost a genre of misanthropic confessional comics about emotionally stunted people that blur genre lines. I'm thinking of the work of Ware, Inio Asano's Goodnight Punpun, some Tom Gauld, Dan Clowes, etc. I read a bunch of those types of comics in a row and by the end I was just depressed. These days I prefer comics that are a little more poignant. I think Taiyo Matsumoto, Emil Ferris, Mariko + Jillian Tamaki, Kate Beaton, even Noah Van Sciver (bleak, but he can laugh himself) all write comics about lonely losers that I find a little less bleak. Still, bleak isn't bad. I just love comics so much, though. Enough to rant on HackerNews about them.
