Chris Ware has been writing and illustrating his remarkable comic books since the 1980's - culminating in his most celebrated creation to date - 2001's 'Jimmy Corrigan, the smartest kid on earth.' Ware exhibits much of the same artistic sensibilities of his heroes, indeed antecedents - Will Eisner, Charles Schulz and Frank King, but his work; both in terms of the imagery employed and the various narratives used is idiosyncratically his. Included in this post is a Chris Ware animation made for Ira Glass's 'This American Life,' TV show - it perfectly, and in a style that is not unnatural to Ware's usual way of working - captures all that is exceptional about his art.
