Synopsis

Described by Rolling Stone as 'the hottest of cartoonists' Joe Matt is justly famed in the comics world for the embarrassing frankness with which he reveals his personality, life, and obsessions. Disturbingly shameless and self-absorbed, Joe Matt writes about himself, warts and all! And in his new Peepshow collection, FAIR WEATHER, he wants to share his suburban 1970s childhood with you. Save the tears though, nothing bad ever happened to Joe Matt. Well, nothing that he didn't have coming. Completely unsentimental, hilarious and strangely kind of endearing, this is a graphic novel with that extra bit of bite!

About this title

Review:

"Wonderfully pathetic, funny, and all too human." - BOOKLIST "Joe Matt reveals personal details of his life with the unabashedness, and the timing, of a stand-up comedian." - The Globe and Mail "Joe Matt uses clean lines and excellent caricaturing to drive his stories of emotional woe." - The Minnesota Daily

About the Author:

Joe Matt started his comics life as a lowly illustrator colouring dopey superhero comics for a living. When he tired of this he started writing a 'diary', a funny, pathetic, page-by-page account of his daily life. These single-page comics were later published in various magazines, including Drawn & Quarterly, and by 1992 Matt had his own comic book series Peepshow devoted to his own peculiar form of autobiographical angst.
