Memory, work and disappearing urban landscapes are the central subjects of the comics published by Canadian cartoonist Seth. Clyde Fans follows two brothers and the decline of their family’s electric-fan business, using long stretches of reflection and carefully controlled page design rather than conventional dramatic plotting. It’s a Good Life, If You Don’t Weaken blends autobiography with a search for a forgotten cartoonist, while the ongoing Palookaville series mixes comics, sketchbook material and fictionalised local history. Seth’s drawing is clean, muted and strongly influenced by older magazine cartooning. The strongest neighbouring categories are literary comics, graphic memoir, Canadian fiction and books about memory, work and disappearing urban landscapes. Read more Less
