Norwegian cartoonist Jason's latest graphic novel (his fifth to be released by Fantagraphics) chronicles one of the oldest love triangles in the world: Mad scientist creates monster, mad scientist creates woman for monster, mad scientist...falls in love with the woman he created for the monster!<P> Working with some classic pop-culture icons, Jason tells a witty and unique story about love, obsession, and betrayal, alternating his trademark pantomime sequences (as the three lovebirds circle each other) with pages of dialogue (as the mad scientist's hunchbacked assistant, during his regular lunches with a fellow hunchbacked mad scientist's assistant, describes and comments on the ongoing events, while pining for a nice quiet retirement&#151;or maybe just a better job).<P> <I>Can't Get There From Here</I> is presented in the same elegant format as Jason's previous popular graphic novel <I>The Iron Wagon</I>, a two-color process (black and grayish blue) on tinted paper with an uncoated cover stock printed in three simple colors, complete with flaps. 678639 7 2004 You Can't Get There From Here total:107|5:30|4:43|3:31|2:3|1:0| 107 421 149 8 3 0 false false Sun Jan 04 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 04 16:08:40 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 05 14:14:32 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Wed Oct 08 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 16 21:18:47 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 16 21:22:54 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 05 14:52:44 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 05 14:56:00 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 14 08:03:48 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 24 04:33:24 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Jul 19 06:39:31 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 19 13:47:41 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 21 05:36:57 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 21 06:29:10 -0800 2008
