Jamie's review of ACME Novelty Library #17
ACME Novelty Library #17 (Acme Novelty Library) by Chris Ware
I just finished this the other night. It took me maybe a half an hour to read, but I really fell in love (again) with Chris Ware's artwork. His stories are incredibly sad, but they tap into some really intense feelings human beings can have. This particular work is a continuation (I think, as it is the only other thing I have read by him besides Jimmy Corrigan) of the story of Rusty, an incredibly awkward child in grade school. He is obviously disliked by everyone because he is "weird". He has a rampant imagination that spills into his real life and causes these really painfully embarrassing moments.
I think I am in love with Rusty, and I hope he kisses the sweet nectar of my lips someday.
