About this Item

Signed first printing of this rather conceptual examination of the literal value of NOTHING in the modern world. Jon Agee studied painting and animation at the Cooper Union, an education evident in his bold illustrations he imbues even inanimate objects with a sense of motion through his sketchy outlines. His affinity for the absurd makes for delightful reading. 11.75'' x 9''. Original white boards. Original unclipped ($16.99) color pictorial dust jacket. Illustrated in color. [16] leaves. Signed by Agee to title page. Dust jacket with tiny tape repair to inside of front flap hinge. Clean and bright.

About this title

Synopsis

Otis has an antique shop crammed to the gills with stuff. So he's delighted when someone comes in and buys it all. Next day, Suzie Gump arrives, the shop is empty, full of nothing, and Suzy loves it-and takes it all. Suzie has set a trend, and soon everybody is craving nothing-the stores are full of it. It's only when there's not even a towel for drying off after a bath that Suzie realizes she may have gone a bit too far. Funny and silly, this is another solid entry by Agee.
