Chris Ware in Monograph:
"The introductory chapter of Rusty Brown contains two concurrently running narrative threads, one presented as a footnote at the base of each page detailing the experiences of Chalky white and his sister Alice at exactly the same moments as the events presented above.
The idea of a split page goes all the way back to the first daily strip I drew in The Daily Texan, as well as the potato man donut story, to say nothing of, once again, George Herriman's original conception of Krazy Kat as a separate running narrative below The Family Upstairs."
Exhibited in Antwerps at Grafixx (2023).
