Wimbledon Green is typical Seth, the style and storytelling are, but the tone is a little more lighthearted, more like an old-fashioned cartoon romp through a story rather than the usual melancholy dwelling on a memory. Not that I object to that in Seth comics, au contraire, I relate to it a good deal. But it's a good change from his usual. And he actually apologizes for it in the introductory letter, that the drawings aren't as pristine as they usually are because this started as a sketchbook project, hastily done, etc etc...
I want to sit Seth down and tell him it's okay to come across as human in his comics. Maybe I'll write him a letter.
