Enjoy!

This book is beautifully illustrated with intricate psychadelic splash pages that are dizzying even with their lack of color, if derivative of well-worn artistic territory pioneered by, for example, R. Crumb. The art is the highlight of an otherwise mediocre, sophomoric book. I didn't want the book on my shelf after I finished it, it was so disposeable.

An artist is tortured by a character he supposedly invented, but who is actually channeled from his own repressed desires. The character is marketed for children by a ruthless corporate opportunist, but moonlights in ruining the artists' life, driving him insane. It is Felix the Cat meets Fritz the Cat, replete with cat cartoon character. The female lead character Lillian, is a lone beacon of interesting writing in this book. It is too bad the comic was not about her instead. ( )

This was kind of a strange book and totally not what I thought it would be about. But the story is very interesting and once you wrap your head around what it's actually about (i.e. not Waldo the cat but his creators and the life and death of their studio) you realize how interesting it really is.
