    Beautiful. Love the images embedded into the word “confessional” on the first page.

    Speaking of, I often wonder about the impulse in comics towards the confessional. Sometimes I think that comics, as an art form inventing itself from the bottom up, has to begin with the closest subject — the interior life of the artist, the mundane details of the day to day. To tilt toward the absurd: maybe it’s like the mirror stage in Lacan: only after the artist knows – recognizes him/herself – through the art, can s/he move beyond detailing the personal minutia into the larger world.

    thanks for reading it – m, i will read lacan. sometimes i think small art is good for seeing everything in the message at once, like a floor plan of a house. kind of chilly and impersonal, but something that you have to do before examining the details separately.
