A companion piece to Drop-in, Lapp's critically-acclaimed account of working in inner city Toronto drop-in centres, but People Around Here takes it to the streets! Always the consummate observer, Lapp's ability to crystallize everyday moments of street life and overheard conversations into short visual vignettes is remarkable. Drop-in was nominated for a Doug Wright Award, an Ignatz Award, and was excerpted in the 2010 edition of The Best American Comics. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

Inspired by the gamebook fad of the 80s, You Are a Cat! is both a parody and homage, focusing on a dysfunctional family, but told through the eyes of their cat. Fully a third of the book is lavishly illustrated from the feline first-person floor perspective. The different choices you make affect people and events! As the first book in the fictional Pick-a-Plot series, You Are a Cat! includes numerous fake preview advertisements for improbable future titles in the series, like You Are a Cult Leader!, You Are Homeless!, and You Are Obsessed With Johnny Depp!

In his debut book Sean Karemaker presents stories of his wild British Columbia country childhood contrasted with his downtown Vancouver bus riding adventures. In between are stories of small town parties, drawing in cafés, school misfits, scrolls, street people of all kinds, and winding through it all are the ghosts, both known and unknown. Karemaker has a distinct panelless style of comics in which the narrative and art blend seamlessly. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

Olive's post-secondary education isn't what they'd planned. Instead of college, they spend five days a week, eight hours a day at what Olive calls 'Food School': a full-time outpatient program for eating disorder recovery where they learn, talk, and cry about eating disorders as part of a survivor support group. Intensely committed to recovery, Olive confronts the secretive, self-destructive, and sometimes tragically comedic nature of their illness, while struggling with the complexities of modern mental health care. With support and perspective from their roommate, a fellow patient, and their partner, Olive learns to open up about their abusive relationship with food and exercise-and finds ways to cope with the reality of living in a society that actively encourages disordered eating.

When Danish journalist Michael Nybrandt was cycling across Tibet he discovered the Tibetan people's unique passion for soccer and the heartbreaking treatment they received at the hands of the Chinese government.

(W/A) David Collier Since publishing his first story in R. Crumb's Weirdo magazine, David Collier has been known for his thoughtful comic essays. Chimo is an account of Collier's decision to re-enlist in the Canadian army and go through basic training again at age 40, leaving his new family behind. He intends to get to Afghanistan and follow in the footsteps of artists who produced a body of work while serving in the Canadian War Artists Program. It is a poignant account of aging and mortality but, in true Collier fashion, digresses into scenes of jumping rope and the story of his childhood hero, skier 'Jackrabbit' Johannsen.

Bunjevac's stunning debut book of stories is a perfect blend of the American underground and the European diaspora. Featuring an introduction by Jay Lynch. 'Heartless is just amazing!

The New York photographer Weegee was known for staging crime scenes before the police showed up, altering a body position if it resulted in a better picture. His street photographs made him world famous. This graphic biography succeeds beautifully in capturing the contrasts in Weegee's life in pictures. The style in which Mannaert has drawn Weegee's hectic life is a perfect fit. His distinctive drawings have been compared to Will Eisner and create the impression that you're walking with Weegee through New York's iconic Lower East Side of eighty years ago.

This volume collects three years of Dakota McFadzean's daily webcomic, nominated for the Slate Cartoonist Prize and a Shuster Award. Though it began as a diary comic, the strip gradually morphed into its current state: a gnashing, howling little world of cursing children, mutilated faces, worried monsters, and adorable small animals. These figures amble between absurd comedy and that dark, empty feeling of cosmic insignificance that keeps you up at night. 'It's funny because we're doomed.' -James Kochalka (immagine) Categoria: Comics

When Lester LaFleur's relationship is upended by a breakup with his girlfriend, he decides to leave the city for good. With his guitar on his back and cowboy boots on his feet, Lester heads west across Canada, playing his hurtin' songs in empty taverns and to anyone who cares to listen. As Lester travels across the country, he meets others who appreciate his music and share his experiences-and develops a deep kinship with his fellow drifters. As they ride together toward their unknown fortunes, adventures ensue. Cartoonist Lorenz Peters uses gentle humour and expressive lines to explore the lifestyle of a travelling musician-and discovers that sometimes, home is the open road and family is the people you meet along the way.

When COVID-19 hit Montreal, cartoonist Rick Trembles started The Weakly Dispatch, a series of diary comics offering his personal perspective on pandemic life. Trembles' asthma put him at risk of a serious infection so, like many others, he took careful measures to avoid coming into contact with the virus. He self-isolated for months, surviving on grocery deliveries from friends, DIY workouts (to prevent muscle atrophy), and of course, comics. Leaving the apartment, however, turned out to be even harder than staying isolated. Initially foiled by stair-painters and coughing neighbors, Trembles quickly discovered a newly perilous world, populated by unmasked people and handshake enthusiasts.
