“I Just Met the Most Wonderful Guy...”

In "I Just Met the Most Wonderful Guy...," Chris Ware crafts a quietly devastating portrait of longing and isolation, tracing a wife’s quiet unraveling as her husband’s affection fades. The story pivots with a sudden shift in time—150 years forward—where a future woman discovers the emotional residue of that fleeting, poignant moment, preserved like a relic. A masterclass in narrative economy and emotional precision, all drawn, inked, colored, and lettered by Chris Ware.
