	CBC.ca - Arts - Books - Special Ed
		As Brown recalls in his notes, the book had its genesis in a creative rut he was experiencing during the early 1980s.
		Brown’s cocktail of violence, nudity, profanity and scatological humour was taken by many outside of the comic world as snot-nosed juvenilia — which on some level it was.
		Brown can’t recall whether it was ever banned from any bookstores, but Ed was dropped by at least one distributor and experienced a memorable run-in with a feminist publisher.

	CBC.ca - Arts - Alternative Canadian Walk of Fame - Inductee: Chester Brown
		Brown, born and raised in Châteauguay, Quebec, is Canada’s contribution to an elite cadre of cartoonists — think Art Spiegelman, Robert Crumb and Daniel Clowes — who have elevated their craft from bubble-gum diversion to fresh-look literature.
		Brown revisited the loss of his mother in 1995, attempting to distill the sum of psychology’s thinking about schizophrenia into a six-page series titled My Mom Was a Schizophrenic.
		Brown, who in the novel, pins Riel’s death on a drunken, Machiavellian scheme hatched by Sir John A. MacDonald, uses extensive endnotes to clarify his narrative’s arm’s-length relationship with accepted history.

		Brown covers the Riel tale from the arrival of Canadian surveyors in the territory that would become Manitoba to Riel's martyr's death on a Regina gallows.
		Brown's weakness is his use of language; his dialogue pushes the plot along and gets the story told, but there is no snap or sparkle to it.
		Chester Brown has taken the story of a historical figure very few Americans have heard of and presented it in a unique way.

	Voice Literary Supplement: Open Book
		Chester Brown's comics tend to be about fairly unusual stuff—his last major series, Underwater, depicted the acquisition of language from an infant's point of view.
		Brown telescopes events for the sake of narrative flow, but the extensive footnotes at the back of each issue painstakingly note each elision and synthesis he's made, and expand on the staggeringly complicated politics of 19th-century Canada.
		But Brown, one of the most deliberate cartoonists around, is avoiding historical-drama spectacle intentionally: You're never seducedinto imagining his dialogue is what the historical actors actually said.

		Chester Brown uses the comics form to achieve an intimacy between artist, reader, and story.
		Brown's earliest graphic novel, Ed the Happy Clown is a scatological, surreal, and satirical reflection of 80s culture and Brown's id. The Playboy, Brown's second major work, explores his relationship with pornography and its influence on his personal development.
		Brown's third and most accomplished work, I Never Liked You, is a powerful account of the author's adolescence as he comes to understand love, parting, jealously, and loss.

	TIME.com Print Page: -- Really "Riel" History
		Chester Brown takes admitted liberties with some aspects of the story.
		In a remarkable move that lets Brown tell the best story and tell the truth, every deviance from recorded history is meticulously footnoted at the end.
		In the final issue, Brown cites Harold Gray's "Little Orphan Annie" as a major influence, and the comparison is dead on.

	City Pages - On a Mission from God (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Chester Brown is one of the comic book's great formalists: For his "comic-strip biography" of the 19th-century French-Canadian rebel and politician Louis Riel, the artist has hand-lettered even the notes and index.
		Brown seems sympathetic to Riel's cause (the Canadian government that destroyed him is depicted as a bunch of scheming buffoons) but not necessarily to his actions.
		Brown's solution is to put as much distance as possible between his comic and "you are here"-style history.

	Two-Handed Man Interviews Chester Brown
		Chester Brown started creating comic strips over 20 years ago, and since then has built up a body of work featuring a wide variety of subject matter—horror, comedy, non-fiction, even adaptations of the Gospels—as well as beautiful artwork.
		One gets the impression, viewing Chester's memories of some of his most awkward and confusing moments, of someone pressing lightly on a raw nerve or a loose tooth, and this idea is reinforced by a line that's spare and delicate, controlled with a surgical precision and deliberation.
		(Chester laughs) It always seemed like, either they were talking about two different things, or a whole list of things, or, 'Here's a whole list of complaints we keep hearing, and we have to make it into something for the sake of convenience,' so maybe you're right.

	Comic Book Galaxy - Celebrating Five Years of Pushing Comix Forward
		It occurred to me that Brown's art in the book is quite reminiscent of Gray's, and there in the introduction Brown states it explicitly.
		To this reader, it seems that Brown was really more interested in the political aspect of the story than the life of Riel himself.
		Brown will often, for example, have two characters talking, showing them in profile, always heads and torsoes (never just "talking heads").

	I Never Liked You (John's Book Pages) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Brown's autobiographical I Never Liked You is about the period of his life where he became interested in girls and vice versa.
		The tone of the story is cold and distant: we're not meant to sympathize with the characters, and each scene provides just enough information for the reader to get the idea before moving on.
		People who feel sympathetic awkwardness will be squirming while reading about some of the situations Chester gets into -- I guess I'd forgotten that adolescence could be like that.

		Brown is a guy who can neither write well nor draw well, so to try disguise these rather obvious facts he uses the tried and true formula of inventing artificially outrageous or surreal situations, replacing shock value for adult themes or visual attractiveness.
		Chester Brown is one of the greatest comics artist ever and in this book you'll see why.
		But the real value of the book is in the way it shows Chester Brown's growth and development into a master of his artform.

	The Little Man: Short Strips 1980 - 1995 by Chester Brown
		The bulk of the material is culled from Yummy Fur, the comics series which established Brown's reputation and with which he is still most closely associated in the comics world.
		Free-association stream of consciousness rules the roost in works like “Walrus Blubber Sandwich” and the “Gourmets from Planet X”, while personal reflection is dominant in the aforementioned Helder-saga as well as “Danny’s Story”; and the two facets combine in the title story.
		A key distinguishing feature of comics as both a form and a medium is the level of intimacy it allows between artist and audience.

	TIME.com -- Andrew Arnold: Keeping It 'Riel'
		A brief history: Brown's first series, "Yummy Fur" appeared during a surge in the popularity of fl and white, independent comix.
		Then Brown did something unexpected: He radically changed the format of "Yummy Fur," using it for an autobiographical exploration whose nakedness caused many fans to cringe and slink away.
		CONSUMER ALERT: Chester Brown's publisher, Drawn and Quarterly, is having a big sale on nearly all their books, including "Louis Riel." Go to their website to find sale items.

		CHESTER BROWN'S JESUS is a Jesus that shouts.
		In one of the cartoonist's adaptations of the Gospel of Matthew, even the designation of Simon as the rock (or "Peter") of his church is fraught with danger, as Jesus' imposing figure leans over him, his craggy face shouting into Simon's.
		In others, Brown's renditions of the Gospel reinforce Jesus' story as a narrative of intense, terrifying struggles against despair and oppression, not just a rambling procession of feel-good parables and miracles.
