Emersonflow of conciosness scribbles and comments on a domestic world which has gone craze around the artist - you can feel the artists haste to get his observant and scatological observations and interpretations down on paper. Really makes one yearn to know what the turning point which turned the quiet and sociologically dutiful author of "Pouring Steel at Krupp" into the cartoonist showing his upset at the progress of the rapidly industrialization around him - I notice how he expresses his dislike and distrust of women - probably quite a back story here.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
