New Releases by Jack Kent

This comic is about celebrating, documenting, and drawing the people I see. Sketchy People has me as part cartoonist and part journalist. I guess you could call me a "cartoonalist". My favorite thing about Sketchy People is what you think just happened, or what''s about to happen in each drawing. I just provide a snapshot in a time and place. You can fill in the rest. If you can''t get out there to go people watching, just flip through this book. I bring the people watching to you. You could be next!

A people watching comic book that indeed helps ''Keep Portland Weird.'' The pages of the book capture a citizen of the Rose City doing, saying, or wearing something weird. Each drawing is complete with notation of a cross street and the time of day. If you can''t go out to people watch, Sketchy People does it for you. But if you do wander the streets of Portland, "You Could Be Next!"
