Because of YOU by Dean Haspiel and Josh Neufeld

Description

In the tradition of ZAP COMIX and THE NARRATIVE CORPSE, long-time friends and collaborators DEAN HASPIEL and JOSH NEUFELD present a unique two-man exquisite corpse: BECAUSE OF YOU. The story plumbs unparalleled depths of agony and personal humiliation. Our hero LIONEL wakes up one morning to an unpleasant surprise. From that point on, he faces domestic crises, public transportation, the New York City streets, and his own hyperactive imagination — all in the course of one infamous ill-fated day. (And we didn’t even mention the maggots.)

BECAUSE OF YOU is an unscripted, impromptu, dynamic dialogue between Haspiel and Neufeld. Created over a three-year period beginning in the summer of 2001, Lionel’s all-too-human, pathetically heroic story is now available in its entirety — along with the original strips that inspired its creation. Read it and weep. Or laugh. Or vomit — your choice.
