"Ambidextrous: The Pinnacle of Comic Bookery" Kevin Cornell publishes a pictoral "booyah" to all other aspiring artists, crushing their dreams like a wooly behemoth on a rampage. or maybe it's inspiring to them, i dunno, it varies, get off my back about it. anyway, cornell crafts characters with minimal elements: a few lines, a few dots, and perhaps a hive of bees. yet he manages to capture perfectly an emotion or intent, utilizing subtle forms to articulate each hysterical moment in the book. do i recommend this book? yes. i would cram this book into your ear canal if that were socially acceptable. but it isn't, so instead i suggest you buy it.
"kevin cornell is a liar" as a longtime fan of kevin's work, i was happy to buy this book as a gift. now i just have to decide who is worthy of these comics' economical humor and understated surrealism. since i put it that way, maybe i'll just give the book to myself. it WAS just my half-birthday... but there's no way kevin is ambidextrous, unless one means that he is equally spastic with each hand.
