![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In some ways, this beautiful book comes pre-approved. The result is the immersive “ Ant Colony,” a new collection of the Ontario cartoonist’s acclaimed Web comic. Under his precise gaze, even the ant casualties - he delights in acts of insecticide - yield wonderfully warped and funny results.Īs psychological shorthand, just imagine Woody Allen setting his animated “ Antz” character, the ever-questioning Z, in a cartoon version of one of his ’70s sex-and-death comedies - only with more gore and war and fewer chastity belts on the voluptuous, must-be-serviced queens. Ants, like humor, suffer a grim fate if put too long under the magnifying glass of clumsy observation: Not only do they wither from all that empirical heat, but there’s not much left to be learned from the ashy mess.įortunately, as a man of both witty art and sly social science, Michael DeForge is more of a microscope guy. ![]()
