I Saw You...: Comics Inspired By Real Life Missed Connections (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
This is pretty much the type of stories that I like. Simple, human, emotional, sometimes weird, but overall, honest.Some of them, the cutest ones, putt a smile on my face, made me feel happy and hopefull :) I'm a romantic girl, I like to see other people in love. Makes me think about all the good things in this world.I thinks this is such a cool project, a nice way to gather up so many different artists and cartoonists and new tallents, people I never heard about, and I really like to see so many diferent styles mixed up, it's really inspiring to me.Overall, I had a great time reading this, cuz this pulled off many emotions, made me laught, made me awwww, made me think what the fuck?, but that's what made it interesting.I would have liked to join too. Don't let her comic name, "Fart Party," turn you away. Julia Wertz has a fresh, sarcastic sense of humor that is occasionally more sophisticated than farts. I have no idea how I found her webcomic, but I did and raced through her archives, most likely while procrastinating on a school project. In "I Saw You..." she compiles artwork by her friends in the comics business. Each comic is based on a "Missed Connections" posting on Craigslist. The resulting art is funny, sad, surreal, and fascinating. Each segment lasts at most a couple pages, yet the stories pack a punch. I especially like the ones where the artist creates a back story that isn't explicitly stated in the missed connection. Lots of fun!

An uneven collection. Some great, but the organization was a bit curious at times.
