The expansion into hardcover from pamphlet is a parallel that illustrates Seth's growth into an award-winning cartoonist, book designer, hobbyist, editor, essayist, and installation artist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeth's first autobiographical comics since \u003ci\u003ePalookaville #2 \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003e#3 \u003c\/i\u003ewill be featured in \u003ci\u003e#20\u003c\/i\u003e. Drawing in his loose sketchbook style, similar to his book \u003ci\u003eWimbledon Green\u003c\/i\u003e, Seth details his trip to a book festival and his awkward struggle to overcome isolation and communicate with the people around him. Seth continues the serialization of his acclaimed \u003ci\u003eClyde Fans \u003c\/i\u003estory line, about which \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review \u003c\/i\u003eaptly noted, \"Seth truly believes in his wares—the little meanings of regular lives.\" This is, perhaps, nowhere more apparent than in the cartoonist's ongoing three-dimensional rendering of his fictional Dominion City, most recently featured in his book \u003ci\u003eGeorge Sprott\u003c\/i\u003e. Using sketches, photographs, and an essay, the cartoonist explains why the need to conceptualize the fictional city in sculptures was a natural extension from comics storytelling, and how if he had his way, it would have stayed in his basement forever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeth \u003c\/b\u003eis the cartoonist behind the graphic novel \u003ci\u003eClyde Fans\u003c\/i\u003e.
