Nothing to See Here

by Howard Chackowicz

“Chackowicz’s great trick is making us think that he has merely drawn us comics and cartoons both surreal and laugh-out-loud hilarious, but at a closer glance we can see that he has also crafted honest-to-god poems―lyrical works of poignancy and depth. His art is unexpectedly wistful, and warm-heartedly wise.” ―Jonathan Goldstein (Heavyweight, This American Life, WireTap)

True to form, Nothing to See Here’s one-page gags convey narrative devices that take fans to strange places that exist well beyond joke territory.

I know Chackowicz from his numerous appearances on Jonathan Goldstein's Heavyweight radio show/podcast. The art is a bit more of the humour here is a little more surreal and vulgar than what I would have expected but I enjoyed it.

Not for me.
The cartoons are expressive and angsty, often obscene, channeling a grotesque disillusionment with society, while still having some yearning for normalcy. Pencil and pen one off drawings.

That was a wacky one.
