Editorial Reviews
Review
"I adore what Evan Dorkin does. I think he's the funniest guy in comics." -- Frank Miller
"Infectious, raucous, nimble, and admirably offensive." -- The Comics Journal
From the Inside Flap
Circling the Drain is the second collection of comics from Evan Dorkin's award-winning humor anthology, Dork. In this volume, you'll go on a date with God, learn how to get beat up, hunt for the mighty Carl Jung, experience the horrors of soda addiction, listen to the Devil Puppet's tales of mystery and woe, and watch the author suffer a nervous breakdown. Whether you're laughing with him or at him, one thing that's for certain is that you'll be laughing. Seriously, would our glib ad copy lie to you?
About the Author
Evan Dorkin is the Harvey, Eisner, and Ignatz award-winning creator of Milk and Cheese, Dork, and Hectic Planet, published by Slave Labor Graphics. His comics work has also been published by DC, Dark Horse, and Marvel, and has appeared in Spin, Esquire, The Onion, and Nickelodeon Magazine. Along with Sarah Dyer, he's written scripts for the animated Superman and Batman Beyond series for WB, and they received an ASIFA Annie Award nomination for their writing on the Cartoon Network's Space Ghost Coast-to-Coast series. Recently they created and produced Welcome to Eltingville, a pilot for the Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block, based on the Eltingville Club strips from Dork. It, uh, didn't do very well.

Hilarious fun and dark wit
I got this book a few weeks ago and can't stop reading it. The shorter strips are comic works of art. However, the book also has some of the best writing about depression I've ever seen. I'm getting more copies to give to friends.
