![]() “I just think there was a moment there, where people outside the comics world opened up to reading comics,” Clowes says. The rise of “Eightball” overlapped with the success of other alternative comics like Peter Bagge’s “Hate” and Chris Ware’s “Acme Novelty Library” as well as the dawn of Nirvana, Quentin Tarantino movies and “The Simpsons.” Today, Clowes is one of the most respected of the “literary comics” creators, known for his graphic novels such as “Ghost World” (which was adapted into an acclaimed 2001 indie film).īut he built his following via the eight years of stories and gags that have been collected in the new two-volume, slipcased hardcover book “The Complete Eightball 1-18” (Fantagraphics: 454 pp., $119.99). By 1997, when the 18th issue of “Eightball” came out, Clowes estimates his circulation was around 25,000. At the time, the larger popular culture was barely paying serious attention to any comics, let alone to work like his, pitched partway between high art, punk rock and MAD magazine. He was part of a small wave of upstart young cartoonists pumping out strange little humor pieces for a handful of adults-only anthologies. ![]() When the first issue of Daniel Clowes’ comic book “Eightball” was published in October 1989, Fantagraphics Books printed 3,000 copies, and Clowes was sure it would take about five years to sell them all. ![]()

![]() It’s a romp through Provence over the course of a year. The writing is witty and the pace is excellent. I laughed and laughed and commiserated with the Mayles. ![]() I curled up with a glass of wine (Chilean, sorry) and read this in a couple of evenings. Kudos to the Mayles to manage their money well enough to be able to enjoy the lifestyle which I don’t believe it was at all over the top. I don’t think Mayle whined about the repairs to his house – in fact, he took it lightly and with a clear dose of patience and humor. It was kind of like selling your million dollar house in San Francisco and moving to Iowa – you could buy the entire town for the price of your modest house in California. Right now a farmhouse in France can be bought for as little as US$250,000.00 back in 1989 before this became trendy, property values were even more reasonable, especially coming from England where everything was/is expensive. ![]() Well – those reviews smack of small minded jealousy. ![]() ![]() I read a couple of reviews on goodreads for this book and had to laugh at some of those who felt the book was whiney and written by a rich guy who could afford a super farmhouse with a pool no less! One review said that Mayle went back to England to live. ![]() ![]() ![]() They've never been able to find their place in the world, but as the pair walks the line between friendship, flirtation, and something more, they may just find their place with each other.

Few records of Shakespeare's private life survive, and there has been considerable speculation about such matters as his sexuality, religious beliefs, and whether the works attributed to him were written by others. ![]() He appears to have retired to Stratford around 1613, where he died three years later.
