Abysmalation
by Josh Bayer
(Birdcage Bottom, 2022)
148pgs
review by BK Munn
Fantastic collection of fugitive pieces by this punk cartoonist includes the very funny "Bloggers" series of strips, some autobiographical shorts and playful explorations of comics history, and the epic centrepiece "I'm Drawing Garfield." It's a showcase for Bayer's expressive, gestural, beautifully "messy" cartooning; an intense style with a radical personal approach to everything from page design, to figure drawing, to lettering. Recommended!
