Book Review: ANOTHER SMALL PRESS GEM FROM TOP SHELF
Summary: 5 Stars
"Cry Yourself to Sleep" is a small graphic novel from Top Shelf who never fails to entertain and elicit emotions with their wonderful, alternative press offerings. This is another of their slice of life books that they do so well. The book centers on the mundane, but all to real troubles of three main characters.
First there is the bunny named Jim who has just been fired from his job at a submarine sandwich shop for getting fur into a sandwich. Hey, it's not his fault that he can't wear the plastic gloves...he doesn't have fingers. That matters little to his boss who fires him leaving poor Jim to figure out how he will come up with his share of the monthly rent.
Next is Andrew, Jim's roommate, a video store employee and aspiring writer, shy, introverted, poor Andrew has just had his novel rejected by a publisher. Furthermore he's trying to get this cute regular customer at the video store to notice him, but to no avail. Finally there is Robot, umm, he's a robot who fears that he is soulless and heartless. He takes to following a little bird, and observing all it does to try and learn about life.
All three of their destinies become intertwined as they all have to make serious decisions about their lives. Poignant and wonderfully told by Jeremy Tinder who has a simple, brisk cartooning style well suited for this material.
