Description

The post-alien abduction trauma memoir weve all been waiting forAh, theres that famous lip quiver! says Jackies abductor and student. Jackie has been determined to be the saddest living person in the entire world by a mysterious team of alien abductors. His earthly musical celebrity is nothing compared to his emotional superstar status in the eyes of these curious and peculiar shape-shifters. Jackie is forced to perform his sadness over and over again on command, so his captors can study and master this very puzzling, very human emotion. Until just like that, Jackie is returned to his old life. Trying to comprehend what has happened, he joins a support group. Its a sea of conspiracy theorists, emotional vampires, and simpatico real abductees. As each person tells their story, he realizes he may never know.Holy Lacrimony is classic DeForgeoscillating between shockingly dirty, casually funny and earnestly engaged in the socio-politics of his fictive worlds. Part abstract shape blending and part hieroglyphic storytelling, each image is a discrete and tightly designed object of beauty that never loses the forward motion of the best personal cartooning. DeForge continues to prove that hes the single most innovative and empathetic cartoonist in the past twenty years.
