Entirely told in pantomime, this suite of short tales veers from the funny to the terrifying to the surreal to the touching. Like Chris Ware's, 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. <P> Jason's previous book, the graphic novella <I>Hey, Wait...</I>, was released in English to great acclaim in September of 2001. This second book is very much in the same graphic and narrative style. 116272 2002 Sshhhh! total:137|5:50|4:58|3:24|2:5|1:0| 137 564 185 11 5 1 false false Wed Jul 04 05:48:44 -0700 2007 Wed Jul 04 05:50:20 -0700 2007 5 1 false false Thu Jan 22 16:26:57 -0800 2009 Fri Sep 19 12:09:12 -0700 2008 Thu Jan 22 16:26:57 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Thu Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Tue Feb 12 06:58:54 -0800 2008 Tue Feb 12 06:59:09 -0800 2008
