''The Little Man: Short Strips 1980–1995'' is a collection of short works by award-winning Canadian cartoonist Chester Brown, published by Drawn and Quarterly in 1998. It collects most of Brown's non-graphic novel short works up to that point, with the notable exception of his incomplete adaptations of the gospels. The collection is especially notable for the cartoon essay ''My Mom was a Schizophrenic'', which Cerebus creator Dave Sim says "was the piece that originally gave Chester the taste for comic-book journalism, the research, the annotations and all the headaches that go with it" in reference to the research-heavy ''Louis Riel'' which began soon after this collection appeared. This book also notably collects the stories ''Helder'', ''Showing Helder'', ''The Little Man'' and ''Danny's Story'' which, together with the graphic novels ''The Playboy'' and ''I Never Liked You'' make up the main portion of what is considered Brown's much-lauded autobio period. It was this group of works that was placed #38 on the prestigious Comics Journal's list of the 100 best comics of the century. ==Contents== #''The Toilet Paper Revolt'' (1980) #''City Swine'' (1981) #''Walrus Blubber Sandwich'' (1981) #''Mars'' (1982) #''Bob Crosby and his Electric TV'' (1982) #''Dirk the Gerbil'' (1982) #''Brad's Enlightenment'' (1984) #''Garbage Day'' (1984) #''My Old Neighborhood'' (1984) #''An Authentic Inuit Folk Song'' (1984) #''I Live in the Bottomless Pit'' (1984) #''Things to Avoid Stepping On'' (1985) #''Help Me Dear'' (1985) #''The Gourmets from Planet X'' (1986) #''A Late Night Snack'' (1986) #''An American Story'' (1986) #''The Twin'' (1986) #''Back to Obedience School'' (1986) #''Anti-Censorship Propaganda'' (1988) #''The Afternoon of March the 3rd'' (1988) #''Helder'' (1989) #''Showing "Helder"'' (1989) #''The Little Man'' (1991) #''The Weird Canadian Artist'' (1991) #''Danny's Story'' (1991) #''Knock Knock'' (1993) #''My Mom was a Schizophrenic'' (1995) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Little Man (comics)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
