Story and Art by Marcel Guldemond. A story about an old man and a cigarette, a bus stop, time, and Jorge Lius Borges. Characterized by the enigmatic details of existence, it's unlike almost anything else in comics. It examines both the intellectual and the actual experience of time through dissection of the details of a particular moment in time. The dense drawing is supported simultaneously with academic, narrative and poetic writing -- the sum effect of which is to create what is essentially a visual meditation. 40 pages, B&W. Cover price $3.50.
