Skyscrapers of the Midwest
Observing the isolated existence of an adolescent cat, his younger brother and their overactive imaginations in the American Heartland, Skyscrapers of the Midwest serves as an intimate chronicle of their stories of childhood hope, panic and loss. Filled with belligerent cowboys, lumbering automaton deities and wide-open spaces, this comic gives voice to a highly respected new creator in the field of sequential literature. (Me, apparently.)

Usually to the hardware store. He built our house when I was nine or so, and while it was pretty impressive that my father (a/my math teacher and avid bus driver) wanted to build his own house, it led to what became a special circle of hell reserved for my brother and I, spending hours upon endless hours in 'Payless Cashways' and 'Woodruff Arnold', where everything smelled like pine fresh-cut pine and you got to watch middle-aged couples in matching denim jackets argue over which of the 843 tile options would be most appropriate for the godforsaken utility room. But he ended up building a really nice house, held up really well over the years... and it's still my favorite place to go to get away from the outside world. Damn you, outside world.

No more than one day a semester, or so... I was simply a child that happened to be fully aware of his limitations in an educational environment and, ultimately, it didn't really matter because I couldn't focus on what was being taught at me anyways due to my crippling social anxiety issues constantly tearing away at my insides. Easier to watch Andy Griffith and The Beverly Hillbillies all day... Go ahead, report me truant. And ya'll come back now.
