The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Cartoonist
by Adrian Tomine
Rated: 3 out of 5 stars
Pages: 200
Adrian Tomine writes about his life as an award-winning cartoonist. He shares his questioning if his life is really worthwhile. He has a charmed career with awards and accolades but did the good out weigh the bad: the humiliation, slights and insults over the years by his own industry?
His memories remind him he is lucky to have a childhood dream as his career, but life still happens in between with chaotic book tours, disastrous interviews, awkward social interactions, and marriage. While his relationships give him fodder for his comics, do the comics give anything back? Illustrated to resemble an artist's sketchbook, he shares the ups and downs of his life with you the reader.
