ISBN: 9780963812940
20pp., with color cardstock covers. 69 comix artists create one long story in the fashion of the surrealist game of the same name. The first artist draws three panels of a story starring a stick figure named "sticky," then passes this on to the next artist who continues the story. The following artist only sees the previous three panels and so on. The result: Sticky's crazy cut-up misadventures as he suffers multiple defenestrations, attacks by giant women, gender changes and the like. Includes: R. Crumb, Matt Groening (The Simpsons), Mort Walker (Beetle Bailey), Will Eisner (The Spirit), Gary Panter, Charles Burns, Julie Doucet, Lynda Barry, Joe Sacco, Justin Green, Ben Katchor, Kaz, Mark Beyer, Richard Sala, Peter Bagge, Savage Pencil, Gilbert Shelton, Joost Swarte, and many more - a literal who's who of alternative, counterculture, new wave, arty, European, and mainstream artists working in the form. Winner of a Firecracker Book Award.
