The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Cartoonist #[nn]

This autobiographical graphic novel collects Adrian Tomine's reflections on a lifetime of making comics, from his awkward early days as a fan to the pressures and absurdities of a career in the industry. Through a series of vignettes, Tomine explores the isolation, self-doubt, and unexpected moments of connection that define the life of a working cartoonist. The book compiles material originally serialized in his 'Ongoing Failure' series, offering a candid and often humorous look behind the curtain of the creative process.
