This book, only the second (the first, Perfect Example, is currently out of print, but is slated to be reprinted by Drawn & Quarterly within the next 12 months) ever collection by DIY legend John Porcellino, exploits the advantages avaliable only to someone with a long  career.  Starting with some pages from some of the earliest issues, the material in Diary of a Mosquito Abatement Man spans a full decade, and it shows:  you can witness the evolution of Porcellino's graphic style, from the early rough work all the way through to his highly refined Zen/minimalist style of the present.  And then there's the story itself, full of the wistful resignation to life's exigencies that is the Porcellino trademark.
