I Saw You...: Comics Inspired by Real-Life Missed Connections

Lonely hearts, romantics, and even cynics pore over missed connection ads in search of love, to gawk and giggle, or out of curiousity about that stranger whose eye they caught oh-so-briefly. These posted stranger-sightings and chance encounters lay bare the truths and oddities of real-life attractions, longings, and might-have-beens in heartbreaking and hilarious ways that bring out the romantic voyeur in the best of us. I Saw You takes this great thing and makes it even better. Julia Wertz has gathered the stars and soon-to-be-stars of the graphic art world to interpret these plaintive, hopeful postings in drawings that range from laugh-out-loud funny to disarmingly touching.
