“This is the first comic book by the artist Taylor McKimens. In two darkly funny stories and a series of drawings,
The Drips opens up an exuberantly colored world of trailer parks, deserts, burnt out technology and toxic dust. McKimens’ hallucinatory visions are rooted deep in America’s dirty, scratched up underbelly, way out West, long past where cowboys and Dodge trucks have since ceased to tread. This comic book, with its deliberate packing and dense, acute drawings, will resonate long after you’ve initially imbibed it.”
–from the publisher
A Glanzfeld special edition and PictureBox Inc. distribution, The Drips is a purely visual read on all things drippy and drawing flies. On one hand, a story of existential decay, a lonely hermit lives and works near the beach in a camper. On the other hand, this is a story about what gravity pulls to the ground like liquids, snot, sweat, oozy flesh, water and urine to substances that melt or spread like cheese or mortar. Also, a tale of what drips and drifts upwards from poisonous fumes produced by burning trash to the trail-blaze of a plane, charring the sky.
