Description

More Grail stuff here, in this amazing autobiographical cartoon by Gahan Wilson for Esquire. This one was mentioned in the biopic Born Dead and later in his New York Times obituary:

"One cartoon done years later speaks to his upbringing. A child is emerging from an alley, surrounded by bizarre creatures. Two adults on the sidewalk can see only the child. 'Here comes that Wilson boy — all alone as usual,' one says.

'And I wasn’t all alone,' Mr. Wilson says in the documentary, 'which was the joys of imagination.'

Note, too, that the dog seems to see what Wilson sees!

Gahan Wilson is one of only a few artists who was known by his name and his style across many genres. A true great as this piece proves.

Charming, unsettling, and all around stunning.

Great piece as it is relatable to the audience that would find refuge in fantasy during times when it was ostracized. It sends a message of hope to those who feel the same today.
