He makes my brain work...DREW SMASH!If any comic lover's haven't checked out any of
Chris Ware's work, you should. He's one of the 15 Masters of American Comics subjectively chosen by
MOCA and deservedly so. His use of the panel to break up page space into sometimes postage stamp-sized (sometimes smaller) chunks is as frustrating as it is fascinating. Go for the obsessive fractioning of space, stay for the pretty colors and impeccable design. He sells his work cheap, too.

Fell #1 was based on a story that took place in Lake Jackson, Tx. I go to school in Lake Jackson, Tx. The lady that gave her husband a sherry enima FOR REAL was my buddy Dylan's nextdoor neighbor.
All true.
Swear to God.
