About the book
Entirely told in pantomime, this suite of short tales veers from the funny to the terrifying to the surreal to the touching. Like Chris Ware's Jason's clean, deadpan style (featuring animal-headed characters with mask-like faces) hides a wealth of emotion and human complexity, leavened with a wicked wit. Jason's work has also drawn comparisons to Art Spiegelman for the similar ways they use anthropomorphic stylisations to reach deeper, more genral truths, and to create elegantly minimalist panels with an incredible emotional depth. In b/w throughout.
