Dash Shaw comics - "BodyWorld"

BodyWorld follows a suicidal investigator of psychotropic plants to Boney Burroughs, an experimental forest city in American circa 2060. In a few panels we “know” each character’s archetype. Dash Shaw uses caricature to exaggerate posture, movement, and physical features. He clips dialogue to visually balance word and image. The requirement of terse phrasing helps nuance each character’s speech. Shaw deftly portrays Pearl Peach with a few words, “I’m eighteen, Mom! Eight-Teen! An Adult.” via thedailycrosshatch.com
