"In this illuminating look at Chester Brown's Ed the Happy Clown, Brian Evenson uses an array of critical approaches to tell a compelling story about Brown, not only as a cartoonist and intellectual, but as an obsessive reviser of his own work. Evenson reveals the dramatic effects that Brown's revisions, even minor changes to a drawing or a panel's placement, have on his comics. With Ed vs. Yummy Fur, Brown's work finally gets the sustained attention it deserves."--Ken Parille, editor of The Daniel Clowes Reader
