Klappentext This is the first collection of literary short comics stories by an award-winning cartoonist. Zusammenfassung Eleanor Davis's How to be Happy is the artist's first collection of graphic/literary short stories. Davis is one of the finest cartoonists of her generation! and has been producing comics since the mid-2000s. Happy represents the best stories she's drawn for such curatorial venues as Mome and No-Brow! as well as her own self-publishing and web efforts. Davis achieves a rare! subtle poignancy in her narratives that are at once compelling and elusive! pregnant with mystery and a deeply satisfying emotional resonance. Happy shows the full range of Davis's graphic skills - sketchy drawing! polished pen and ink line work! and meticulously designed full color painted panels- which are always in the service of a narrative that builds to a quietly devastating climax.
