Like Art Spiegelman did with <I>Maus</I>, Jason utilizes 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 sparse dialogue, dark wit, and supremely bold use of "jump-cuts" from one scene to the next (sometimes spanning a number of years) make <I>Hey, Wait...</I> one of the most surprising and engaging debuts of the year. 405251 10 2001 Hey, Wait... total:236|5:113|4:81|3:34|2:8|1:0| 236 1007 316 33 2 1 false false Sun Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun Apr 08 13:46:49 -0700 2007 Sun Apr 08 13:49:08 -0700 2007 more...]]> 2 0 false false Fri Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Feb 11 07:16:23 -0800 2008 Sun Feb 17 15:42:19 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Jul 13 07:26:20 -0700 2007 Fri Jul 13 07:26:36 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Jan 08 09:44:00 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 08 09:47:05 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Mar 23 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 24 13:01:19 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 24 13:07:23 -0700 2009 Hey, Wait... is yet another book by Norwegian cartoonist Jason that seems childishly simple on the surface, but contains a deep well of thoughtfulness and emotion. It's a snapshot of two boys growing up, and how a single moment can alter things forever.
