Skitzy, the Story of Floyd W. Skitzafroid
One day in the life of Floyd W. Skitzafroid (”Skitzy”), part artist, part office worker, unfolds without words but with Don’s classic humor and penmanship. Drawn & Quarterly, the well-known, high-quality publisher of comic books in Montreal, has just published a new, beautiful deluxe version of the original Skitzy. Don would have certainly been overjoyed at the great job they have done.
