The Little Man: Short Strips 1980 - 1995 #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection brings together the complete run of Chester Brown's short-lived but influential comic strip 'The Little Man,' originally serialized from 1980 to 1995. Featuring Brown's distinctive, minimalist linework and deadpan humor, the strips explore autobiographical and absurdist themes, offering a fascinating look at the early evolution of one of Canada's most celebrated alternative cartoonists. Published by Drawn & Quarterly, this volume is a key artifact of the 1990s indie comics scene.
"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.
