Literally, a traffic jam-- but figuratively, his whole life is a mess. A dream job turned nightmare at the biggest animation studio in the world. A love affair that is not what he imagined. And possibly someone with a life-threatening grudge against him. In his first new graphic novel since 2001's acclaimed Mail Order Bride, Mark Kalesniko compresses an entire life into a single day as the frustrated animator, stewing on a pitiless California freeway, alternately rages, reminisces, fantasizes, and hallucinates-- intercut with a series of imagined moments from two generations ago, the Golden Age of animation, when an earlier Alex made his entry into a much different professional world. Loaded with fascinating insider gossip and historical details on two different eras of animators, skipping seamlessly among the present and several different pasts, reality and fantasy, Freeway is another step forward for a major cartooning talent" -- from publisher's web site 650 0 Animators|vComic books, strips, etc 650 0 Traffic congestion|zCalifornia|vComic books, strips, etc 650 0 Comic books, strips, etc.|zUnited States 651 0 California|xSocial life and customs|vComic books, strips, etc 653 Tecknade serier: humor och satir 655 7 Skönlitteratur |2saogf 655 7 Tecknade serier|2saogf 907 00 110516
