Daniel Clowes Unveils New Work

Graphic novelist Daniel Clowes–author of “Ghost World” and this week’s whimsical New Yorker cover–pulled back the curtain on his next as-yet-untitled book this afternoon.

According to the Book Bench, the new graphic novel will be about a man who loses his father and tries to forge familial bonds by “joining people together.” The blog post also includes a sample panel.

Here’s more from the post: “Each page of the book is an individual scene, a joke on the format of a Sunday cartoon strip, but cumulatively the scenes create a larger narrative that turns from comic to tragic.”
