![]() ![]() ![]() The work in the factory is as one would expect pretty boring, and so there's not much to tell, really, and we don't really know why he is telling this story in particular, but he sort of likes some of the work, though he is an outsider, a teenager, a summer guy, not a lifer, and his Dad has an office, so there's separation he feels with other workers. This book is a comics memoir looking back on the time Delisle's worked in a paper mill factory during summers when he was in school, the place where his Dad worked as an engineer (and did some oof his own drawing). But I began to warm up to him as he became a parent and made his Bad Parenting cartoon books. And something about his grumpy/cheeky tone bugged me. He wrote sort of travel memoirs early on while traveling with his wife who went to Korea and China for her work, and I didn't think the stories he wrote of those trips were all that compelling to accompany the great art he did on those occasions. He's really by now honed his skills so we can be sure we are in more than capable hands. ![]() Guy Delisle is just flat out a great cartoonist. ![]()
