Jimmy Corrigan The Smartest Kid On Earth is a graphic novel bold experiment in reader tolerance, disguised as a gaily-colored illustrated romance in which tiny pictures seem to come alive by Chris Ware, originally appearing in his comic book series Acme Novelty Library. Jimmy Corrigan, the Smartest Kid On Earth, is a lonely, 35-year old emotionally-impaired human castaway who lives by himself and calls his mom at least once a day. Suddenly, he gets a plane ticket from his father which he has never seen before! So he goes to meet him! What exciting adventures await him?
