With postcards probably pick up at a show, ( Comic Com?). Peter Kuper's The System takes us through several people's lives, told in wordless vignettes that in the end intersect each other and then begin a new story. The book starts with a quote by William Blake "I must create a system or be enslaved by another man's" it's this idea that seems to drive much of the story of The System. Everyone is living their own lives thinking they're not connected to some larger system - but as this story shows everyone, especially those living in a big city is.
