Yearly 2024 is another annual, digest-comic book from Andrew White.  This year we have a full 100 pages of comics in monotone, duotone and full color.  It starts of with the third and concluding chapter of "Paint" which began in Yearly 2022.  It is followed by three stories, each of which follows a title page / "cover" titled "Yearly 2024". While all three share the same title, each is very distinctly its own thing, and so show how much is going on "uder the hood" of Andrew White's comics-making machine.  Of special interest to us here at Copacetic, and likely to Copacetic customers as well, is the second of these stories, which is a bildungsroman à clef comics tale about coming of age in comics that strives to incorporate the comics making methods, tools, tropes, grammar and language of those centrally formative comics into the comics on the page that are telling the story of how those comics came to be formative making for a formal layer of circularity.

As an added bonus, there's a brief, gestural, initalled, colored pencil sketch across the last two panels of page three, which serves to personalize the copy, making each unique.

So, all in all, a particularly interesting and rewarding issue. 

We've posted a gallery of covers, pages & panels from all the issues of Yearly, from 2018 to 2024 – including this one – on our Copacetic Tumblr, HERE.
