Barbara Stauffacher Solomon: Utopia Myopia

By Barbara Stauffacher Solomon

Utopia Myopia is an academic adult comic book with visions of utopia, dystopia & myopia. Illusions, confusions & conclusions play out over 36 plays. The setting for each play is a piece of paper 8.5 x 11 in. Characters are listed. Scenes & characters are drawn on the top half of the page, while five columns of type in a newspaper style are set below. The dialogue is kept minimal. A shorthand determined by the number of letterforms per line. Utopia Myopia is a text-message for today's limited attentions spans. A work of art in its own right.
