The Art of the Fugue, which appeared in Fantagraphic's Prime Cuts in 1987. I guess those were my salad days, at least Gary Groth must have thought so. This was my first comix in print so please be gentle with her, she's a delicate, colicky thing, not at all like a Snark GN.
To this reader, the second-to-last panel's caption sounds like an echo from the Admirable Carroll's famous sentence: "Children are better employed with making mudpies". Perhaps was this predestination? (or is it procrastination? I always have trouble telling these two apart).
ReplyDeleteMe also … all these pres are so troublesome and confusing. Damnation is such a bother, especially with all the paperwork.
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic. Both the story and the pictures.
ReplyDeleteMay I ask what was the inspiration behind the making of this story?
Thanks, Priya. … I am a lover of JS Bach and wanted to do a homage to him, I drew it in 85, I think, so it would have been for his 200th birthday. I like this style of constructing stories, where they drift in and out of meaning.
ReplyDeleteI grew up hearing a lot of Bach's music.I appreciate what you've done even more now especially with the structure of the story.
DeleteAn excellent education for a young artist! Bach is The Master!
