A review by ericfheiman
Wilson by Daniel Clowes

4.0

While Cranbrook's Graphic Design program chair, Elliott Earls, may blame Daniel Clowes for all the problems with today's youth (whatever, dude), I see Clowes' latest opus as a cautionary tale for all of us cultural snobs who might be turning us into cynical curmudgeons. The character of Wilson is repellent, yet Clowes renders him with enough humanity and realism that a small part of me sympathized with him, too, if only because we all—with a few wrong turns and lack of self-awareness—could turn into Wilson ourselves.
