Book Synopsis
Luke is depressed, afflicted by a severe case of metaphoritis and deadlines that don't really exist. Afraid of being forgotten by the comics community and unable to find motivation in anything besides jealousy, he sets out to create an award-winning comic that will remedy all of his problems. Exploring themes of art and existence through worlds of theater, youtube videos, relationships between family and neighbors, and numbers both real and imagined, Luke Healy's new graphic novel tells a story of creative perserverance and exhaustion.

Trade Review
“This graphic novel proves a pleasant surprise, as the well-worn narrative of the self-referential comic artist riddled with professional anxiety gets an entertainingly knotty and acidly funny working over. A clever and curiously haunting book.” - Publishers Weekly
