Yeast Hoist 12: Stop Thinking - Start Sleeping ~ Stop Sleeping - Start Living

Finally, the rarest of the wildly experimental yet intimate drawings and stories of math-rock comics genius Ron Regé have been collected! From his startling illustrations for The New York Times to his evocative travel sketches and his comics-form private love letters, this thick volume of Regé's hilarious, sensitive, erotic, and electric work is a must-have for comics-art lovers everywhere.

Ron Regé's work appears in McSweeney's 13, an all-comics issue that features today's best cartoonists. In the spring of 2006, a reprinting of Regé's critically acclaimed Skibber Bee Bye will be available.

"Ron Regé Jr. is probably the greatest 'new cartoonist' (whatever that is) I can think of. He has wholly reinvented the comic strip to suit his own idiosyncratic vision; his apparently simple yet beautifully complex little line drawings seem to spring from the very essence of 'the form'; they're warm, funny, sad, smart, stupid -- and best of all, alive." - Chris Ware, author of Jimmy Corrigan and The Acme Novelty Library

"Ron Regé Jr is stylistically the most original alternative cartoonist to emerge in the past decade." - The Comics Journal
