The Funnies by J. Robert Lennon
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 397 KB
Overview: In J. Robert Lennon's fine, wistfully funny second novel, The Funnies, the comics turn out to be very serious business indeed. New Jersey cartoonist Carl Mix was an alcoholic tyrant who used his "Family Funnies" comic strip to transform his real family into a set of puckish, dimwitted cartoons. The only thing worse--he left one of his children out of the strip entirely. "Maybe Dad conceived of it as a way to control us," his slacker son Tim muses, as he receives news of his father's death. "In the unbreachable box of the comic strip, we could be charming and obedient, and we would stay that way, year after year." Carl's will has left nothing to Tim, a talent-free installation artist, except the "Family Funnies" themselves. If he can draw the strip in three months, then all rights and proceeds are his; if he can't, he gets nothing at all. Tim studies his father's craft, and he learns not only about cartooning but also about his father, families, even the small, redemptive miracle of work itself.
