In my travels around this sad and beautiful world of ours I have learned at least one thing. Stand up comics and indie comic book creators are the most depressed people on the planet. Chris Ware is a perfect of example. His Acme Novelty Library books are filled with the most bittersweet little slices of life you'll ever read. Loneliness, desperation and heartache permeate his work, yet a quiet sense of dignity all remains. This makes his work instantly ratable to 90% of the people out there. Too bad more people don't read his work.
