Last week at Canzine I had the pleasure of snagging a copy of Jesse Jacobs’s minicomic Small Victories and was thereby introduced to his work, which I hadn’t seen before. I immediately fell in love with his cartooning upon opening it. Delicate linework and playful drawing are sandwiched between a silkscreened cover, and inside you’ll find a series of loosely-related comics dealing with Jesse’s views on religion, the Canadian identity, and childhood memories, all threaded through the adventures of escaped circus animals. I can’t wait to read more of his work.
