Book Reviews of Quimby the Mouse: Or Comic Strips, 1990-1991
Book Review: Quimby masks a hidden story
Summary: 5 Stars
Gosh! Am I the only one who gets it? Quimby is not about a mouse. Well, OK, there's alot of micey stuff here- but it is just subterfuge; distraction; sleight of (virtuosic) hand! This is a poignant work of genius- concealing a deeply emotional event- the death of Chris' grandmother. ASTONISHING! Thank you, CW. You 'n' me.
Summary of Quimby the Mouse: Or Comic Strips, 1990-1991
As this cartoon silhouette of a mouse ignominiously suffers at every turn, the spaces between the panels create despair and a Beckett-like rhythm of hope deceived and deferred, buoying Quimby from page to page.Graphic Novels Books
