Caricature by Daniel Clowes
4.0
Caricature is a collection of nine tales written and drawn by Dan Clowes. Someone on twitter commented this was the turning point for Clowes, when he stopped fucking around and started doing more introspective, serious stories. I'll take his word for.
These stories had less silliness and sf/fantasy elements and a lot more grounded, angsty, existential elements. It's all drawn in the trademark Dan Clowes style, which you either love or hate. I've dug it since seeing his Uggly Family series in Cracked decades ago. I'd say the title story or The Gynecologist were my favorites but there wasn't a dud in the bunch.
