Ware’s cleverness in hiding key elements of the plot in plain sight is admirable. The art work is gloom (mainly set in Chicago – Michigan’s cold) with a few passages of vibrancy to represent brief moment’s of respite. A well painted narrative on the effects of abandonment from father to son across generation.

“Those we love never truly leave us, Harry. There are things that death cannot touch.” 

“In every shining moment of happiness is that drop of poison: the knowledge that pain will come again. Be honest to those you love, show your pain. To suffer is as human as to breathe.”
