IT"S A GOOD LIFE, IF YOU DON"T WEAKEN by Seth



I finally got around to this book by Seth, and it's really amazing to me. Probably the most impressive aspect is that while this was serialized by him and done over so many years, the artwork looks really cohesive. I didn't buy all of the originals so I can't go back and compare. But it brings to mind the problem of putting a collection of work together and how to combine the earlier style with the later style.

The art is really lovely, better than the story, but I suspect that is intended. Some sections are only Seth or Seth and Chet walking through a long expanse of city scenery and talking. The effect is that I read through the text in the word balloons on a page and went back up and re-read it visually. The storytelling is strong, though, there's something to be learned from this book.
