This is the first collection of literary short comics stories by an award-winning cartoonist.
Eleanor DavissHow to be Happy is the artists first collection of graphic/literary short stories. Davis is one of the finest cartoonists of her generation, and has been producing comics since the mid-2000s. Happy represents the best stories shes drawn for such curatorial venues as Mome and No-Brow, as well as her own self-publishing and web efforts. Davis achieves a rare, subtle poignancy in her narratives that are at once compelling and elusive, pregnant with mystery and a deeply satisfying emotional resonance. Happy shows the full range of Daviss graphic skills sketchy drawing, polished pen and ink line work, and meticulously designed full color painted panels which are always in the service of a narrative that builds to a quietly devastating climax.
