The Little Man: Short Strips 1980 - 1995 #[nn]
"The Toilet Paper Revolt" collects rare early strips by Chester Brown, showcasing his distinctive, stark style and dry wit. This particular story, drawn from the Gnostic text "Pistis Sophia," presents a quietly unsettling moment: a child who looks exactly like Jesus arrives at Joseph and Mary’s home, where the working Jesus—unfazed—simply says he’s been waiting for him. The raw, hand-drawn aesthetic and precise lettering are all by Brown, with the cover matching the story’s unpolished, intimate tone.
