Jackie has been determined to be the \"saddest living person in the entire world\" by a mysterious team of alien abductors. His earthly musical celebrity is nothing compared to his emotional superstar status in the eyes of these curious and peculiar shape-shifters. Jackie is forced to perform his sadness over and over again on command, so his captors can study and master this very puzzling, very human emotion. Until just like that, Jackie is returned to his old life. Trying to comprehend what has happened, he joins a support group. It's a sea of conspiracy theorists, emotional vampires, and simpatico \"real\" abductees. As each person tells their story, he realizes he may never know. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eHoly Lacrimony\u003c\/i\u003e is classic DeForge-oscillating between shockingly dirty, casually funny and earnestly engaged in the socio-politics of his fictive worlds. Part abstract shape blending and part hieroglyphic storytelling, each image is a discrete and tightly designed object of beauty that never loses the forward motion of the best personal cartooning. DeForge continues to prove that he's the single most innovative and empathetic cartoonist in the past twenty years.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael DeForge\u003c\/b\u003e draws comics and posters in Toronto.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 8.8 x 6.7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 11, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43353503924359,"sku":"9781770467552","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/8BkqvxaQPj9781770467552.webp?v=1760975417","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/holy-lacrimony-hardcover","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
