Indeed, McFadden's Funnies is very different from most of what I've read, although it is closest in style to the work I've seen in the better mini-comics and self-published efforts at The Expo in Maryland.
McFadden, a psychotherapist, brings a love of stories and a whole lot of unusual experiences to the table to create a fascinating and unusual tableau.
I found the story of the church that McFadden attended, with it's gaudy decoration and the pranks of his friends, to be a delight, and the two pages on Pittsburgh that opened the book served notice that this book had a definite setting.

A dart lands in St. John’s, in Gander, in Port Aux Basques, in L’Anse aux Meadows, on a mountainside, by a lake, inside a Royal Canadian Legion, and McFadden is there, as happily clumsy as a clam in chowder, waiting to be eaten by the first unsuspecting walk-on.
McFadden’s pulse of irony, surrealistic flights of fancy, and the then fashionably fierce anti-Americanism was just the right fit for that late seventies crew of literary nationalists.
Perhaps McFadden’s surreal zen sensibility would never have been successfully grafted onto the nineteenth century narrative forms the soon-to-be-icons were repeatedly crafting for what seemed to be an emerging and protected market.

I purchased this book and McFadden's follow-up on Scotland (which I haven't yet read) based on the local newspaper's Travel section recommendation of the Scottish title.
McFadden spends too much of his narrative observing himself and his unexpected travelling companion, the impulsive Spanish chambermaid/photographer/poet Lourdes Brasil, then he does the people and landscapes of Ireland.
Instead I was left with the feeling that I had eavesdropped on the unexpected frolic of a middle-aged man and a young Spanish chambermaid who just happened to meet in Ireland and drive around the countryside for a bit.

David McFadden's Great Canadian Sonnet was an underground classic even before its publication by Coach House Press in 1970, and since that time ten new books of poems have appeared, riding on the crest of that early work.
That characterization is still true, although McFadden's voice has mellowed, and his tone is softer.
In McFadden's latest work, Anonymity Suite, the focus is still on ordinary people and pastimes, but the style has changed.
