What We Mean by Yesterday: Vol. 1 [Paperback]

Bruce Barnes is a schoolteacher having yet another shit day. His students are a disrespectful nightmare, gleefully relishing the misery they put him through. But today is even worse than usual, and after a particularly grim run-in with a student, he heads to the break room to bum a smoke off another member of the faculty. After lighting up, hes told the cigarette is laced with amphetamines. From there, Bruce rides his rage snake from the classroom to the ends of the cosmos and back  fighting, fucking, shooting, racing, and tripping his way from one impulsive move to the next. Reminiscent of films likeThe story of a man driven to the edge  and beyond  by the world around him. But if hes the good guy, then who is the bad guy? An occasionally shocking, sometimes nightmarish, completely unpredictable satire of modern masculinity. A deliriously scuzzy wild ride, this will appeal to fans of the transgressive absurdism of Johnny Ryan or Yoshikazu Ebisu. The art?is?fast and loose, [with] enough characterization that the reader is made to care about Bruces slide into the rabbit hole, and more than enough antagonists to keep the story flowing nicely from page to page. Flows so quickly I inhaled it in one sitting. Very funny and also cathartic. What happens if your day goes to shit and you just roll with it and be shitty too? An unmissable lysergic trip for anyone who loves underground comics and stories of total, irreversible rebellion against the daily grind.
