The third section of the book was, in my estimation, the most successful on its own terms: detailing the life of Jordan Lint, an incidental character from the book’s opening passages whose life we see unfold with the cruel and callous precision of a divine watchmaker’s blueprint. Lint is a scion of privilege who grows into the kind of vaguely-defined “businessman” that used to dot the landscape of Cretaceous America. Whatever his job entailed, it was the kind of job that enabled him to embezzle a not insubstantial amount from the firm. This kind of short-sightedness is characteristic of Lint. Born in 1958 and dying in the far future times of 2023, Lint is a model specimen of his generation’s worst traits. An astounding graphic novel about nothing less than the nature of life and time... Ware's dazzling geometric art – pointillism for Woody's eyesight sans glasses; close-ups of Joanne's face through the decades – has never been better... Ware again displays his virtuosic ability to locate the extraordinary within the ordinary, elevating normal lives into something profound, unforgettable, and true. Publishers Weekly (starred review) Ware jumps into the memories and imaginations of his characters in "Introduction," but these moments follow a standard grammar of narrative sequential art. Aside from the device of running two parallel sequences, Rusty Brown's opening chapter is fairly linear and serves as an overture, establishing characters, setting, conflict, and major themes. The following three chapters of Rusty Brown are more formally challenging (and arguably much stronger).Rusty Brown is, like Jimmy Corrigan, and Building Stories (his three main books), epic in scope and length, exhibiting astonishing technical skill, humor and empathy, largely focused on the grimly sad lives of every day people.

Fortune Magazine Rejects Satirical Chris Ware Cover". Archived from the original on 2010-04-26 . Retrieved 2010-04-26. Now, twenty years later, Ware is publishing Rusty Brown in book form. It is, he says, 'a fully interactive, full-colour articulation of the time-space interrelationships of six complete consciousnesses on a single Midwestern American day and the tiny piece of human grit about which they involuntarily orbit.' The six characters are Rusty Brown himself, a shy schoolkid obsessed with superheroes, his father 'Woody' Brown, an eccentric teacher at Rusty's school, Chalky White, another schoolboy, Alison White, Chalky's sister, Jason Lint, an older boy who bullies Rusty and Chalky and fancies Alison, and the boys' teacher, Joanne Cole. Ware tells each of their stories in minute detail (or as he puts it, 'From childhood to old age, no frozen plotline is left unthawed'), producing another masterwork of the comics form that is at once achingly beautiful, heartbreakingly sad and painfully funny.

Moving, sourly funny and virtuosically drawn… It’s hard to express in prose how imaginatively and effectively Ware marries words to images, how expressive his almost diagrammatically minimalist style can be, how he juxtaposes banality and trauma, how he sketches the passing of time and the sense of nowhereness in blank wide shots. Sam Leith, Daily Telegraph Inspired by the structure of a snowflake, the six-sided shape of which is determined by the molecular structure of a water molecule, and which cannot form without a central piece of flotsam or grit.” That’s the biggest laugh line in the book, incidentally - and it’s a hardy, deep laugh, at the expense of a totem of a generation who failed in every way to deliver on the hopeful promise of their earliest achievements. It’s an earned laugh, and a well-observed one, arriving as it does amidst the collapse of the boomers as a voting bloc and demographic. They could have changed or saved the world, but instead chose to vote for a charismatic con man who promised them that the endless party of their protracted arrested development would continue apace so long as they didn’t bother their pretty little heads wondering where all the bodies were buried. He’s an odd figure to build a book around, because he’s absolutely repulsive in every way - not even the gradual revelation of how badly his parents failed him builds any sympathy on the readers’ part, because his personality traits have been baked in and set from a young age. Narcissistic delusions of the kind he indulges are an obvious escape, but the warp and woof of said fantasies are venal and self-absorbed to a degree that approaches pure grotesquerie. Rhabdo can cause serious kidney damage and can be life-threatening. If you think you have it, get medical attention. Anemia

Mark: That’s an impossible question for me, I love some really obscure bands from that era but my issue is that there’s very few bands around in the late 80’s that I would refer to as Hair Metal anyway, I never liked the term. Brown urine can also be a symptom of cirrhosis. That is the name for scars on the liver that form after you've been living for years with hepatitis or other types of liver disease. Jordan is a horrible man, yes, but Ware shows us how a horrible man is made. Born into a very wealthy family with a fine old house, Jordan has every possible advantage and privilege in life. He's nevertheless doomed from the outset. As a young child, Jordan witnesses his father abuse his mother. He also is taught to be a racist by his father, a theme that Ware expands in the next chapter, "Joanne Cole." Jordan's mother dies when he's still young, he fights with his teacher (Ms. Cole, of course), and it's only his father's money that keeps him from being expelled from school. As a teen, he's spoiled and rebellious. Pantheon Books published in September 2019 the first volume of Rusty Brown (collecting stories Ware began writing and illustrating in 2001). An Answer to the Insoluble Dilemma of Mr. Chris Ware, by the World Renowned Critic, Dilettante, and Bon Vivant Tegan O’Neil . . .A treasure trove of invention… With its awe-inspiring exploration of regret and ageing, anxiety and ennui… Rusty Brown is a human document of rare richness.

Rusty is the son of Woody Brown, a man on most days barely more cognizant of his surroundings than his son. He teaches English and once harbored dreams of literary achievement, which we learn in the unfolding of events amounted to little more than the cover feature in Nebulous: Worlds of Imagination. In rare cases, intense exercise can cause muscle cells to burst and leak into the bloodstream. This condition is called rhabdomyolysis, or "rhabdo," and it can turn your urine brown.
