{"product_id":"9781621067146","title":"The Snake Pit Book: Daily Diary Comics 2001-2003","description":"\u003cbr\u003eBy now you know the drill: Ben White draws his life everyday in 3 comic panels. This was his first book, collecting quite a few various zines. After describing dozens of various \u003ci\u003eSnakepit\u003c\/i\u003e titles I'm going to defer to the wisdom of Jimmi Payne's \u003ci\u003ePunk Zine\u003c\/i\u003e, \"Taken individually, each strip resembles what a friend would say if you asked what they had done that day. Ben sifts through the minutiae of life as well as the full experience of time in a day. This is different than James Kochalka's work as there is no pretense at narrative or point. The narratives in \u003ci\u003eSnakepit\u003c\/i\u003e open up on the macro level. If \u003ci\u003eSnakepit\u003c\/i\u003e is to be read on the toilet, a mere bowel movement is enough time to live months through the protagonist's eyes. Patterns emerge and story arcs materialize and years of common actions load into a highly concentrated snapshot that wakes you up to the ongoing machinations of life beyond your present day. This has led many to label \u003ci\u003eSnakepit\u003c\/i\u003e an existential text.\" Introduction about doing cocaine by Aaron Cometbus.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Microcosm Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50096591306992,"sku":"9781621067146","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781621067146","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
