Summer Blonde by Adrian Tomine (Graphic Novel Centric)

I think too many indie comic writers rely on Daniel Clowes surrealism too much nowadays... enjoyed none the least.

            I won't pressure you into anything, we can take it slow. Just start with a few highlights, see how it makes you feel.

            drakepress @wecancreate | 14 Jun '09, 21:00 | X
  • I've read the first two parts;

    there wasn't any surrealism so far. Obvious similarities to Daniel Clowes though.
    It took me a while to get in Tomine's short stories in 'Sleepwalk' but I really like the longer stuff in this. It's all a little oddly depressing but great if you're in that kind of torpor.

    amnuck | 14 Jun '09, 20:41 | X
    • Agreed.

      Although the one about the guy and the cake in Sleepwalk is good.

      CitizenSharikov @amnuck | 14 Jun '09, 21:48 | X
      • I don't like to even think about that one.

        amnuck @CitizenSharikov | 14 Jun '09, 23:28 | X
  • eh? there isn't any surealism in summer blonde

    tomine gets accused of ripping off clowes alot but they are friends and I think the influence goes both ways, later clowes is more tomine like than tomine is clowes like in my opinion. Tomine is frustrating in his unprolificness.

    • ^this

      and this has also reminded me that I still don't own Shortcomings.

      chenilla @ThingsThatFly | 15 Jun '09, 01:59 | X
      • I'm looking forward to reading 'Shortcomings'.

        All the stuff in 'Sleepwalk' and 'Summer Blonde' is too short for my liking.
