Summary
"Noah Van Sciver empties all the arrows in his quiver in this collection of comics fiction, biography, memoir, meta-memoir, satire, and more. He juxtaposes a series of fictional stories in which he imagines being a "19th Century Cartoonist" with autobiographical strips about the day-to-day of a contemporary writer-artist, in addition to meditative pieces about his father and childhood that informed his chosen path. As a Cartoonist is a funny and other poignant reflection on the human condition and how we choose to live. All the while, his love for comics and thirst to unpack ideas about what creativity really means recalls Art Spiegelman and Lynda Barry-- not to mention, his Harvey Pekar-esque way of just trying to stay alive at the same time."--Back cover.
