Clyde Fans; Book One by Seth

Clyde Fans; Book One by Seth. Published by Drawn and Quarterly.
I like that Seth has the old man talking to an imaginary audience in the first part, while the young man in the second part feels scrutinized by an imaginary audience. The copious dialogue in the first part contrasts with the sparse dialogue in the second part. This dichotomy establishes the brother's feelings of isolation in the second part. There also is a theme that a true salesman never turns off. He is always on, always making a pitch.
-Jason Arcand
