Palookaville 24 marks the long-awaited return of Seth s beloved series, which offers readers an invitation into the world and varied artistic practice of the iconic cartoonist.

A meandering poem ruminating on memory and place and the people who pass through his life, this chapter of Nothing Lasts closes with a seminal event in Seth s young life. An intriguing visual feast, The Apology of Albert Batch is the culmination of ten years of collaboration between the director Luc Chamberlane and Seth a short film documenting Seth's venture into puppetry. An extensive photo essay detailing the making of the film accompanies a DVD. And lastly, Seth presents, warts and all, an exercise from his sketchbook. A simple activity: Select five names from a list and produce five stories to go with them. Drawn loosely with poster paint and ink, the work is spontaneous, showing a different side of the master artist. Palookaville 24 showcases Seth s artwork alongside his continually evolving artistic practice with unique elegance.

How fast can you go in a buggy drawn by the flap of a butterfly s wings? How do you measure the speed of waking from a dream? Such abstract inquiries into the unrelenting absurdity of contemporary life make up this omnibus of meditative vignettes from one of mainland China s most prolific and recognizable yet anonymous new underground cartoonists of the current generation. Every story in 20 km/h toes the line between pun and poetry, and lands somewhere just short of a zen koan: Come back to it as often as you like, it will never read quite the same way twice. A nondescript figure awakes from an assembly line of identically fashioned companions and boards a rowboat destined for the unknown. A man holds the key to sleep in his hand and uses it to disappear into his mattress. The moon is plucked from the sky and fed into a vending machine for a can of soda. Woshibai s minimalist renderings are a startlingly delightful cocktail of existential dread and silent slapstick that arrest the mind s eye with equal parts humor and grace.
