Review

"It might seem jarring for a book to begin with 'The Toilet Paper Revolt' and end with 'My Mom Was a Schizophrenic,' but Brown pulls it off by mixing equal parts surrealism, violence, and contemplation. As a whole it tells another story: the maturing of an artist." -- Details

"One of the medium's brilliant mavericks." -- Time.com

Book Description

By the bestselling Louis Riel cartoonist, The Little Man is a collection of new material and works from Brown's comic book series Yummy Fur. The first book to include Brown's notes, it includes his experimental comedic surrealism, his controversial essay on his mother's schizophrenia and "The Little Man," a Freudian classroom romp. "One of the medium's brilliant mavericks." -Time.com "It might seem jarring for a book to begin with 'The Toilet Paper Revolt' and end with 'My Mom Was a Schizophrenic,' but Brown pulls it off by mixing equal parts surrealism, violence, and contemplation. As a whole it tells another story: the maturing of an artist." -Details

5.0 out of 5 stars Acquired Taste For the Bizarre, Nov 10 2001
By 
This review is from: The Little Man (Paperback)
Chester Brown is an eclectic, yet diverse innovator. Upon first glance his drawings & artwork look crude & unfamilar, but upon further inspection one becomes engrossed in his unusual storytelling. His stories range from the bizarre and surreal as in his Yummy Fur stories, to the autobiographical, which deals with the growing pains of adolescence to even Biblical and historical, yet they take on a mixture of emotions from endearing, to humorous, to heartbreak and shocking. Chester is a true originator.

5.0 out of 5 stars Like eating rusty staples. One...by one...by one..., Aug 3 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Little Man (Paperback)
He never fails to confound, delight, shock, nauseate, charm and confound again with his way of somehow keeping one gnarled claw rooted in the sacred and the other hoof equally grounded in the scatological. Now if only he'd reprint ED THE HAPPY CLOWN, but with its complete final Yummy Fur disgressions into the inner workings of the First Family. Anyway, "The Little Man" is priceless.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Comic, May 7 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Little Man (Paperback)
Chester Brown is one of the greatest comics artist ever and in this book you'll see why. This book collects various stories from Brown's acclaimed comic Yummy Fur and some stories done for now defunct anthology titles, including some of his earliest works. The stories range from sci-fi to horror to religous to autobiographical. Almost all of the stories are superb. But the real value of the book is in the way it shows Chester Brown's growth and development into a master of his artform.
