Mashing up pop culture with cultural neuroses in a single-panel one-two punch, Scott Bateman's self-involved characters address their aphoristic confessions directly to the reader. Time and again, Bateman delivers understated wit with maximum impact. Painfully personal and furiously funny, Bateman's Sketchbook reveals all the shameful secrets one nation can handle.
