SEQUENTIAL ART: chester brown's "paying for it" (2011) is the best graphic novel of the year
Do yourself a favor and buy a copy right now. This is the best graphic novel of the year.

Somebody on Amazon.com wrote this scathing review:
"Only in America could an alcoholic, whiney, self-sabotaging person with limited artistic skill write and illustrate a comic, oops, "graphic novel" about her pathetic and boring life in San Francisco and New York City/Brooklyn and become successful. Reading it almost drove me to drink. I only decided to review this book after reading the reviews of "The Fart Party" so I am certain that I will be in the minority and that my review will be highly criticized but I post it, anyway, in the hope that someone with tastes similar to mine will be dissuaded from wasting his or her time."
I guess that's why I Love America.
and while you're on Amazon, make sure you get a copy of Jonathan Ames' the Alcoholic. Priceless.
