The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Cartoonist, Adrian Tomine's funniest and most revealing foray into autobiography, offers an array of unexpected answers. When a sudden medical incident lands Tomine in the emergency room, he begins to question if it was really all worthwhile: despite the accolades and opportunities of a seemingly charmed career, it's the gaffes, humiliations, slights, and insults he's experienced (or caused) within the industry that loom largest in his memory.  Tomine illustrates the amusing absurdities of how we choose to spend our time, all the while mining his conflicted relationship with comics and comics culture. But in between chaotic book tours, disastrous interviews, and cringe-inducing interactions with other artists, life happens: he fumbles his way into marriage, parenthood, and an indisputably fulfilling existence. A richer emotional story emerges as his memories are delineated in excruciatingly hilarious detail.  In a bold stylistic departure from his award-winning Killing and Dying, he distills his art to the loose, lively essentials of cartooning, each pen stroke economically imbued with human depth. Designed as a sketchbook complete with placeholder ribbon and an elastic band, The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Cartoonist shows an acclaimed artist at the peak of his career."--Amazon.]]></description><link>https://tacoma.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S102C1698733</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://tacoma.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S102C1698733</guid><category><![CDATA[GRAPHIC_NOVEL]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Tomine, Adrian]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://tacoma.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1698733102</comments><format>GRAPHIC_NOVEL</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781770463950/MC.GIF&amp;client=tacomapublib&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=on1119748951</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shortcomings]]></title><description><![CDATA[A graphic novel in which Ben Tanaka tries to salvage his failing long-term relationship with Miko Hayashi, who suspects Ben is more attracted to white women, an accusation that cause their personal and political problems to reach a boiling point.]]></description><link>https://tacoma.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S102C1383350</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://tacoma.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S102C1383350</guid><category><![CDATA[GRAPHIC_NOVEL]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Tomine, Adrian]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2007 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://tacoma.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1383350102</comments><format>GRAPHIC_NOVEL</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781897299166/MC.GIF&amp;client=tacomapublib&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=ocm86004160</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Q & A]]></title><description><![CDATA["Q&A is one part personal history, one part masterclass in crafting quality entertainment. With questions pulled from his time at the Substack Writers' Residency, and with additional, new material, Q&A is an indispensable addition to the collections of eagle-eyed fans and aspiring artists, writers, and cartoonists alike. Tomine answers questions about his preferred tools, his creative process, the ups and downs of adaptation, and perhaps most importantly--how to pronounce his last name. Illustrated with drafts, outtakes, and photos from the artist's personal collection, this rare peek into the mind of a contemporary cartooning giant lays out the method to his meticulous brand of madness. The artist looks back on his career in response to queries from his--maybe adoring but mostly curious--public with his signature dry wit and unflinching, self-deprecating honesty."

A Drifting Life is his monumental memoir eleven years in the making, beginning with his experiences as a child in Osaka, growing up as part of a country burdened by the shadows of World War II. Spanning fifteen years from August of 1945 to June of 1960, Tatsumi's stand-in protagonist, Hiroshi, faces his father's financial burdens and his parents' failing marriage, his jealous brother's deteriorating health, and the innumerable pitfalls that await him in the competitive manga market of mid-twentieth-century Japan. He dreams of following in the considerable footsteps of his idol, manga artist Osamu Tezuka (Astro Boy, Apollo's Song, Ode to Kirihito, Buddha)--with whom Tatsumi eventually became peers and, at times, stylistic rivals"--Publisher's web site.]]></description><link>https://tacoma.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S102C1404059</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://tacoma.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S102C1404059</guid><category><![CDATA[GRAPHIC_NOVEL]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Tatsumi, Yoshihiro]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2009 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://tacoma.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1404059102</comments><format>GRAPHIC_NOVEL</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781897299746/MC.GIF&amp;client=tacomapublib&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=ocn271432638</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good-bye]]></title><description><![CDATA[A third collection of illustrated short tales is comprised of World War II pieces that were drawn in 1971 and 1972 and includes the stories of a prostitute who despairs when American GIs return to America and a man who devotes his life to honoring Hiroshima victims only to realize a horrible misconception.]]></description><link>https://tacoma.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S102C1394657</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://tacoma.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S102C1394657</guid><category><![CDATA[GRAPHIC_NOVEL]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Tatsumi, Yoshihiro]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://tacoma.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1394657102</comments><format>GRAPHIC_NOVEL</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781897299371/MC.GIF&amp;client=tacomapublib&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=ocn176972832</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Abandon the Old in Tokyo]]></title><description><![CDATA["These stories get under your skin and invite rereading."
