Mister Wonderful: A Love Story (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
I liked this pretty well. I really enjoyed the ways it portrayed honesty within the world and within relationships (especially budding relationships), including the results from being overly honest and picking and choosing what truths to tell. At times it scared me because I thought my mind worked too similarily to a neruotic middle-aged man's mind (Mister Wonderful himself).I did not fall in love with it; however, it was a pleasant read. I think this was a surprisingly sweet entry from Clowes, and serves as a pretty good intro to the author for the uninitiated. This has a lot of the flawed characters, fantastic art and humor that I really value in Clowes work. While it has a lot of less of the surrealism, and brutality of some of his other works (which I also find engaging), but this (along with Wilson) was a nice change of pace. Recommended!
What do You think about Mister Wonderful: A Love Story (2011)?
Not his best (of the three I have read). But still worth a read - nice slice-of-life and great art.

Bien planteada y mucho mejor escrita revisión a las citas a ciegas. Maravillosa.

Un Clowes avec presque un happy ending. Wouah.
