![]() If ‘n Oof has been billed as the most accessible of the three, and for good reason. ![]() They’re experiential, is what I’m saying–as much about the act of reading as about what is read. From Ninja‘s giant-sized hardcover presentation, bright, buoyant black and white art, and slip-sliding layout to Maggots‘ furtive samizdat scrawled-on-a-used-book origin, dense dark panels, and hiccuppy panel flow and now to If ‘n Oof‘s doorstop thickness, manga-digest trim size, buddy-action-comedy tone, and one-panel-per-page design, they’re all uniformly and unmistakably Chippendale in story, art, and tone, but vastly different in terms of the sensory effect reading them has. Hey, have you played the new Brian Chippendale game yet? I’m only exaggerating slightly when I say that reading each successive Chippendale/PictureBox graphic novel is like getting a new installment in your favorite video game series, one that shakes up the gameplay but still feels like an immersion in the original spirit you loved. ![]()
