There are several reasons why I love this depiction, from the inside front cover of Chris Ware’s ACME Novelty Library 18, of the thoughts swirling around a character’s mind as she attempts to fall asleep (seen in bed at far right). First, it makes great use of its physicality as a printed objected. There’s something special about the fact that you have to interact with the comic by literally rotating it around (multiple times if you want to read everything, in fact); that’s an experience that could never be replicated by reading a PDF of the book. Second, Ware depicts this experience that we’ve all had, of being consuming by our own fears as we attempt to drift off to sleep, in a way that’s unique and formally inventive. If you can’t tell from the image, there’s no linear way to read the page, with various lines of thought intersecting, overlapping, and always returning to the central thought, both figuratively and literally: I just want to fall asleep and never wake up. Just a great page of comics.
