Description

Page from the book Jimmy Corrigan, the Smartest Boy on Earth.

From Wikipedia:

Jimmy Corrigan, the Smartest Kid on Earth is a widely-acclaimed graphic novel by Chris Ware, published in 2000. The story, previously serialized in the pages of Ware's comic book Acme Novelty Library (and, previous to that, in the alternative Chicago weekly New City), is about Jimmy Corrigan, a meek and lonely man in his late thirties who meets his father for the first time in a Michigan town over Thanksgiving weekend. Jimmy is an awkward and cheerless character with an overbearing mother and a very limited social life. Jimmy attempts to escape his unhappiness via an active imagination that sometimes gets him into awkward situations.

The story explores themes of discontent and alienation, especially within families. An article in the October 17, 2005 issue of The New Yorker cited Jimmy Corrigan, the Smartest Kid on Earth as "the first formal masterpiece of (the) medium."
