I hadn't heard of Jason but his animal headed people intrigued me because I had been doing some of them before. I was in that phase once when I proposed it for an educational guide. Maybe it was a little too weird for them. This is weird too. Lately I've been buying more comic books and thinking more about this. I think they somehow lose more in being converted to electronic forms, the effect of the page turn and so on. I'd like to do more graphic stories but they take so much time. Need more practise. ( ) Lately it seems like the only books I can really, truly get my enthusiasm up about, as opposed to give five stars to because I recognize their influentiality or craft, are the ones that are strange and wonderful and give me some hope that there's still magic in this world. This is one such. It's a collection of early (='90s) stories and strips from wonderful Norwegian funny-animal artist Jason, and it surprises, spooks and delights. The title story is this beautiful, heartaching story about young lovers trying to escape from her boyfriend on Easter Island, and her ex-boyfriend loves to blow bubbles, and is a hitman, and has a wolf's head, and suddenly it's raining hats and then we are at the Taj Mahal with a balding man preparing to be deus ex machina, and then we're back to lying around naked listening to Leonard Cohen and being nineteen. It sends up little green shoots in my soul. and Jason knows that, and also knows that they're not the kind of shoots that survive long, and his story reflects that sadness. Then there's a bunch of jokey strips that range from surreal to sophomoric to sad. Jason's art hadn't perhaps settled down 100% yet, but the ideas, in all their dark Vitamin D-deficient Norwegianness, are here. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
This multi-faceted anthology prints selections from Jason's early 1990s work, including his calling card, the novella-length thriller Pocket Full of Rain. This collection showcases three distinct styles: Jason's earliest realistic' drawing style, an intermediate 'bighead' cartoony style that still features humans and the 'funny-animal' style he's now best known for. Also included are a colour section featuring Jason's painted covers for his original Norwegian magazine Mjau Mjau, strips and illustrations, plus God Cheating at Trivial Pursuit.'
