10-Page Preview! Whatever showcases a remarkable collection of humorous and beautifully drawn short stories by artist Karl Stevens-- creator of Failure and Los Angeles Times Book Prize finalist The Lodger. Set in the world of young artists, dreamers, drinkers, layabouts and dime-store deep thinkers of bohemian Allston, Massachusetts, the strips--originally published in The Boston Phoenix--are revealing snapshots of real-life urban America at the dawn of the 21st century.
