Wimbledon Green by Seth5/14/2023 ![]() His latest book, George Sprott, fits quite snugly on the shelf alongside his previous outings, tipping its hat in the way of subject matter to all that has gone before whilst at the same time developing and adding new flourishes to the Seth pallet. If you read between the lines (or should that be boxes), you sense that Seth longs for a time which he would more than likely admit never existed, in which people were kinder to one another, in which music didn’t blare from cars so goddamn loudly and such things as sentiment and tradition weren’t ridden roughshod over. He also thinks that the world is in something of a deplorable state and wishes he’d lived in a bygone time. Like a lot of comics artists stretching all the way from Daniel Clowes to Robert Crumb, he’s a bit of a fan of old time-y jazz. He’s interested in the old-time-y, for one thing. ![]() ![]() ![]() Anyone familiar with Seth’s previous books – It’s a Good Life If You Don’t Weaken, say, or Wimbledon Green – will know that Seth has one or two what you might call obsessions. ![]()
