...which means I can never again bitch to my blockmates about having been sexiled; my last chance to comp anything has gone by. My last campus job is the one I am now working. I am enrolled in my last undergraduate classes. Probably the worst thing about this elegiac mode is that it precludes new beginnings. There is no sense in marking promising classes that we have not yet taken in the course catalog. There is no sense in admiring rooms that you no longer have a chance to win in the housing lottery.

The objects in the main exhibition, which runs through Jan. 9, 2005, tell an important story about...
...silent space - panels that aren't necessary to move the story along but are necessary just to create the right mood for what you're doing." Papers fly down empty streets. A typewriter sits on a desk. People go by; things go by. Seth creates the elegiac atmosphere of an apocryphal, slow-paced past. He does it like no other comix artist, and the effect feels akin to taking a warm bath...
