Jimmy Corrigan: Smartest Kid on Earth by Chris Ware

A masterpiece by graphic novelist Chris Ware. Both the best book I've ever watched and the best movie I've ever read. Deeply felt, observant, and funny.

Ware (and Jimmy) seems puzzled by life and by other people, and this work seeks to put some pieces of that puzzle in place and make sense of life. That's what great art does.

This book broke my heart and gave me hope for mankind. Very slick, Ware!
