Description

And Then the World Blew Up by Mr. Fish

Trade Paperback – Fantagraphics – Nov 2017 – 208 pages

What do you get when you cross a fistful of pens and an enormous stack of blank paper with somebody who resents the sweet-smelling muzzle of good manners and polite conversation, who delights in always saying the wrong thing at the right time in contempt of every expectation that the naked truth is at all obscene? You get a collection of cartoons, illustrations, personal essays and culture-war correspondence from an author who’s just trying to defuse the apocalyptic bomb that is the miracle of our Creation. Drawn, painted, and collaged in Mr. Fish’s many virtuosic styles, And Then the World Blew Up is an eloquent take-no-prisoners response to American political life.
