But I Like It!

A severe thunderstorm last night put the kybosh on some after-work plans, so instead we sat around the Wenzel offices reading copies Joe Sacco's new rock n' roll comix compilation, But I Like It!. Sacco inhabits the same cartoon world as say, Peter Bagge of Hate fame. While Bagge banged Hate out of Seattle, Sacco worked down the road in Portland, but soon found himself on the road in Europe as a roadie for his friends' the Miracle Workers. These experiences form much of the first half of the book, while the second is more paying bits and pieces done between work on Palestine and Safe Area Gorazde, his two main works. Sacco has enjoyed the same arms legnth relationship to musicians and the music business as many of us here at Wenzel and his work provided many giggles into the wee hours.
