Publisher's Synopsis
Joseph Remnant's first original graphic novel follows the recent art school graduate Seth Fallon and his three friends as they try to navigate the time between finishing school and trying to figure out what they're going to do with the rest of their lives. With a mountain of debt and no clear path to financial or emotional stability, Seth struggles to find a direction that won't leave him homeless. In this world of fashion conscious art snobs, talentless social media "gurus," and drug addled, trust fund hipsters, he tries to hold on to the few meaningful relationships he has. Drawn in a naturalistic style and written as an ongoing conversation among the characters that captures twentysomethings embarking upon their life, Cartoon Clouds is reminiscent of the films of Erich Rhoemer or Noah Baumbach. Joseph Remnant has been a prominent presence in the cartooning scene over the last decade, self-publishing his own comic book Blindspot, illustrating Harvey Pekar's acclaimed Cleveland, and appearing in such magazines as The Believer
