Chicken Fat #[nn]

Will Elder's Chicken Fat: Drawings, Sketches, Cartoons & Doodles is a generous showcase of the artist's remarkable range, gathering an anarchic parade of characters — superhero parodies, a Popeye-esque sailor, a Sherlock Holmes figure, bombshell pin-ups, rotund comic archetypes, and a dozen more — swirling together in a circular composition that feels like a carnival of invention. The background hums with lightly sketched faces and figures, hinting at just how much material Elder had to draw from. Published by Fantagraphics in 2006, this collection is a genuine treat for anyone who loves the art of cartooning in all its gloriously chaotic, detail-packed forms.
