Sequential Art, comix is one of the few spheres where loneliness can be both triangulated and deconstructed. Drugs, movies where stuff explodes, deafening parties — all these stave off the loneliness by making me forget my name’s Jared and I live in a dome of bone no other party can penetrate or know. Comix, fiction, poetry, music, really deep serious sex, and, in various ways, philosophy — these are the places (for me) where loneliness is countenanced, stared down, transfigured, treated.
