One of the most popular titles by Shortcomings cartoonist Adrian Tomine, Summer Blonde features more stories culled from the pages of Optic Nerve. With a deft and romantic touch, Tomine portrays the emotional ambivalence of drifting, urban twenty-somethings in stunning black and white. His stories are appealingly naturalistic, stylishly cinematic, and emotionally rich. His fans accuse him of eavesdropping on their most intimate moments, exhibiting their insecurities with both forensic detachment and surprising compassion.
