Yeah, 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.
