There are a few gems, especially "Art School Confidential" and "Ugly Girls" where you see maturity peeking out.
(I was a wannabe rock critic, then. I'm happy to see it here—I never made the connection that this was the same cartoonist responsible for Ghost World till I bought this volume—as well as other small masterpieces that were used as filler at one time or another in the pages of Eightball. It ranges from social commentary, satire, outrageous tales to weird character deceptions. There's some funny material in this book. Attending art school myself (well, with a primary focus in graphic and multimedia design rather than specifically that of fine arts), I could wholeheartedly agree that both students and teachers bite into the typical stereotype Regarding this collection, so far I've only gotten my hands on Art School Confidential, so my opinions are merely drawn from that strip: The comic version is a humorous, honest and cynical depiction of art school, students, teachers, and possibly the art world in general.

I'm not the biggest fan of Clowes quirky/obscene ways--and yet, that is exactly the type of comic style I love, just not in his way. Thanks, Clowes!Just couldn't get into this one. As dedicated readers already know, some of the best and most innovative stories on the shelves come from the constantly evolving realm of ...well, 20th century eightball is totally totally crass, more crass than I remember Clowes other stuff being.

I have read almost every issue of Eightball when they came out and I think that Daniel Clowes is a great writer of the mundane life. Read it!AND WHEN WE DIE THERE WILL BE A SPECIAL CORNER IN HELL RESERVED FOR CHICAGOANS WHERE THE DAMNED ARE FORCED TO DRINK OLD STYLE BEER WHILE LISTENING TO AN ETERNAL MEDLEY OF R&B STANDARDS PERFORMED BY JIM BELUSHI AND BRUCE WILLIS (ON HARMONICA) --- SEE YOU THERE!Regarding this collection, so far I've only gotten my hands on Art School Confidential, so my opinions are merely drawn from that strip: The comic version is a humorous, honest and cynical depiction of art school, students, teachers, and possibly the art world in general. This is a good book for anyone who's into alternative comics or you're looking for sometThis is a compilation of comic strips, by Daniel Clowes, created over a period of time; I think late 80s to early 90s.

The illustrations are really good. It's a marvelous collection and reinforces my belief that Clowes is the finest cartoonist around and one of our most important writers overall. Love the lettering. I'm happy to see it here—I never made the connection that this was the same cartoonist responsible for Ghost World till I bought this volume—as well as other small masterpieces that were used as filler aBrilliant.
The strips come in either black and white or colour.

This is a good book for anyone who's into alternative comics or you're looking for something different in the comic book medium. There's some funny material in this book. I'm not the biggest fan of Clowes quirky/obscene ways--and yet, that is exactly the type of comic style I love, just not in his way. Renowned for its gleefully incisive social satire and riotous absurdity, Entertainment Weekly proclaimed it "the year's best regularly published comic book" upon its debut in 1989. I know he's kind of kidding, but he's also kind of serious.well, 20th century eightball is totally totally crass, more crass than I remember Clowes other stuff being. Probably not the best place to start with Clowes, but for fans, this collection provides great balance against his other work. )Love the art. End Story.basically the raw materials that were distilled into Wilson. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy being a design major, but half the time I have to question the importance of a design/art degree as opposed to simply saving the tuition and setting out to freelance and practice on my own (and that's coming from the one in school for this, just imagine what others who haven't a clue what a 'graphic designer' is, ex: parents, family members, anyone over 30). While Clowes is generally known for having a somewhat somber tone, in his short works, he lets loose his inner wildman/child. Still, the problems from "Mister Wonderful" are apparent here, and the overkill meta elements, like bringing himself into the comic strip, weaken a surprisingly enjoyable, short, dumb comic that may not bFor supposedly being a collection of "filler" material, Daniel Clowes's "Twentieth Century Eightball" seems to have the right mix of the asinine, charming, sad, crass, lonely, dread-filled characters and their silly stories that made me laugh as well as feel, if not saddened, a bit melancholic. I know he's kind of kidding, but he's also kind of serious.That said, it's in a lot of little bite-size pieces so its fairly enjoyable. In short, an earnestly happy, dry-humping bear cub of love on a government list.

This anthology collects all those funny stories in one volume, so no matter how heavy “Ghost World” or “David Boring” got these little zany bumpers kept you laughin’. )But Twentieth Century Eightball is solid gold, perhaps best exemplified by the piece "Sensual Santa" which is superficially crass, but a deadeye perfect parody of a certain type of sweet, good-natured person who you think has a good heart but who you also think might be a pedophile, the person who proclaims that cuddling can be better than sex, which is no doubt true, but exclaims it too loudly and in the context of sweating, earnest, hairy nudity, not reflective philosophical observation. All of these messages are delivered in a self-aware, self-mocking manner with Clowes acknowledging the complexities of his role as an artist, wondering how he could possibly make a legit living by making stuff u Absolutely wonderful. This anthology collects all those funny stories in one volume, so no matter how heavy “Ghost World” or “David Boring” got these little zany bumpers kept you laughin’. He does have moments of insight, or at least perceptive wit ("Art School Confidential," "Ugly Girls"), but mostly the collection's a repetitive misanthropic diatribe.
