From the publisher:<\/strong>\u00a0Eleanor Davis\u2019s\u00a0How to Be Happy\u00a0is the artist\u2019s first collection of graphic\/literary short stories, and it’s about time. Davis is one of the finest cartoonists of her generation, and has been producing comics since the mid-2000s.\u00a0Happy\u00a0represents the best stories she\u2019s drawn for such connoisseurial venues as\u00a0Mome,\u00a0Nobrow, and\u00a0Lucky Peach, as well as her own self-publishing and web efforts. Davis achieves a rare, subtle poignancy in her narratives that are at once compelling and elusive, pregnant with mystery and a deeply satisfying emotional resonance.\u00a0Happy\u00a0shows the full range of Davis\u2019s graphic skills – sketchy drawing, polished pen-and-ink line work, and meticulously designed full-color painted panels – which are always in the service of a narrative that builds to a quietly devastating climax.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
