UNDERWATER OPERA
A Graphic Novella in Two Parts:
"Carpal Tunnel Humdrum" and "Waiting For the Signal To GO!"
New MiniComix by world-reviled Cartoon Artiste, Chuk Baldock
Not really a graphic novella, but any comix over 3 pages is a graphic novel now, so I'm just trying to get hip to the lingo and sell some books here. There are recurring themes and shit. It might qualify. What do I know? It's 14 pages of the First NEW Comix work I've published in something like 20 years. It's self-indulgent! Self-Absorbed! Not for KIDS! It's about what it is to be alive, what it is to be unable to concentrate, unable to focus, unable to forget you will die one day and all of this will be for nought! Who doesn't love that? It's sad, funny, stupid, mean, inscrutable, and adorable: just like me!
The book itself is 5.5" x 8.5" DIGEST Size, 16 Black & Off-White interior pages. FULL COLOR Cover, with HAND-FOLDED cover flaps. (The flaps look really cooool, but they were a real pain in the ass. Next time, I might not get so fancy. That's a selling point right there!) Hand-made! The original artwork was all done using traditional old-timey tools. (If you consider felt-tip brush pens old-timey, that is. I mean, it wasn't done on an iPad.) Limited Edition Print Run: Only 300 copies (give or take a few) printed (and then cut, folded, collated, folded some more, and stapled) by the artist at his very own kitchen table.
Some day this book will be a crumbling artifact of our fallen empire and half-forgotten civilization. It will be a priceless relic. Grab your copy now while they're still only $5.00 US -with- FREE Domestic Shipping within the United States of 'Murica!
