Richard McGuire has illustrated the New Yorker's articles for over a decade, using these 'spots' as a unique canvas upon which to practice the art of the graphic miniseries. Each single-panel line drawing stands alone but also fits withing a wider series of variations on a theme or an unfolding story. Here these are collected for the first time, with a single spot per page to allow the series to unfold slowly with each turn of the page, as they would in the original magazine. The result is a charming, joyful and witty 'short story' collection.

Publisher's description. A delightful collection of New Yorker illustration 'spots' from the creator of the canonical and innovative graphic novel, Here. Charming, joyful and witty, the graphic novelist's equivalent of a perfectly formed, short story collection.
