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!
