In addition to having one of our favorite names, Jesse Reklaw is a talented cartoonist (he won this year's
Ignatz Award for Outstanding Mini-Comic). He has been producing his Slow Wave comic strip for alternative newsweeklies for over ten years now and
The Night of Your Life, a bargain-priced 244 page hardcover, is the second Slow Wave collection (We still have a few copies of the first, now out of print, 2000 collection,
Dreamtoons, around here somewhere, if anyone is interested). The premise behind Slow Wave is simple and elegant: Reklaw solicits dreams from his readers, he picks one a week and converts that dream into a comic strip that is composed of four panels of equal size, two over two; each and every week. Here are the best of the last eight years. Learn more at
