Daniel Clowes Launches Mister Wonderful

Posted on September 15, 2007

The New York Times is launching a new weekly comic strip by brilliant cartoonist and underground comics creator Daniel Clowes. Clowes is best known as the author of the comic strip Eightball and the graphic novel Ghost World. Ghost World, you may recall, was turned into a film starring Scarlett Johansson and Thora Birch. The new strip is called Mister Wonderful and is the first new thing Clowes has done in quite a while. The strip will run through mid-January, 2008 in the Funny Pages of the newspaper.
