Review ..".Van Sciver's tireless work ethic and ever-refining comedic chops made him the cartoonist to beat [in 2015]. In a year of highlights, however, Fante Bukowski is the volume to recommend to anyone still in the dark. ...Van Sciver knows how to give the reader just enough to enjoy the sensation of holding poor Fante in pleasant contempt."--Onion AV Club "The take-no-prisoners satire ends up being surprisingly sweet, and Van Sciver's depictions of Cleveland offer a romanticism that might even align with how Bukowski sees his surroundings."--Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW. "With the graphic novella Fante Bukowski, Noah Van Sciver's penned the funniest thing I've read all year. ... At its deepest, Fante Bukowski stands as a commentary on hordes of recognition-hungry artists with nothing to say, but as a straight parody, Fante Bukowski is hilarious enough to summon tears."--The Quietus "Rising star Van Sciver once again skewers the self-important male figure, in this case a terrible writer who fancies himself a great novelist and pushes himself onto everyone."--Publishers Weekly "Fante Bukowski Two is Noah Van Sciver's funniest work by far, littered with deadpan humour. ... Van Sciver just continues to get better and better ― you need this book."-- The Quietus Read more Review "...Van Sciver’s tireless work ethic and ever-refining comedic chops made him the cartoonist to beat [in 2015].
