From the multiple Eisner and Harvey Award-winning author comes this
sharp suite of short tales, ranging from the funny to the terrifying to
the surreal to the touching, all told entirely in pantomime. Like Chris
Ware, Jason's clean, deadpan style (featuring animal-headed characters
with mask-like faces) hides a wealth of emotion and human complexity,
leavened with a wicked wit. Jason's work has also drawn comparisons to
Art Spiegelman for the similar ways both artists utilize
anthropomorphic stylizations to reach deeper, more general truths, and
to create elegantly minimalist panels whose emotional depth-charge
comes as an even greater shock. His dark wit and supremely bold use of
"jump-cuts" from one scene to the next are endlessly surprising and
exhilarating.
