Beskrivning

Derek is a solo parent raising three kids in the American South while trying to make art. Told in a series of free-flowing and often hilarious comic essays, Cartoonshow gets to the heart of the struggle to be a creative person in a society that doesn't value anything other than how much it can grind out of you. Covid, poverty, the failing social safety net, predatory lenders, and literal acts of God can't stop our hero! Derek M Ballard makes modern American family comics. It's not his fault that being a single parent in America is kind of a nightmare.

Mer om författaren

Derek M Ballard is, first and foremost, a single parent of three kids in Gainesville, Florida. Sometimes after he takes the kids to school and cooks dinner he’s lucky enough to get work on cartoons for Cartoon Network, Netflix, or HBO. Most recently he was the lead background designer on Mystery Cuddlers for Adult Swim. His book CARTOONSHOW from Oni Press was selected by the LA Times as one of their top five graphic novels of 2023. But mostly he’s just a plain old dad, tbh.

Recensioner i media

"Being a single parent is no joke, but Derek M Ballard's hilarious graphic novel memoir, Cartoonshow, gets plenty of laughs in anyway. ...Even though he's barely treading water, Ballard is still able to deliver a cathartic and hopeful experience to readers through his keen sense of humor and defiant tenacity, all on full chaotic display in Ballard’s signature frenzied illustration style, vividly bringing to life this tumultuous story."
