Twentieth Century Eightball

Most of the pages in each issue of Eightball are taken up by a chapter from a longer running series ("Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron," "Ghost World," "David Boring") while the remainder consists of short, usually humorous stories.

Typically, these shorter pieces are caustic, hateful critiques of certain types of people Clowes abhors -- hipsters, Hollywood executives, professional sports fans, politicians, salespeople, and so on. It appears that Mr. Clowes has quite a large axe to grind, which is great news for me, because I also detest most of the odious subhumans Clowes gleefully eviscerates in his stories. I will read this book over and over until the day I die. Link
