Join Julius Knipl, Real Estate Photographer, on a leisurely stroll past The Institute for Soup-Nut Research and The Municipal Birthmark Registry. Savor the smell of a phone booth, circa 1961. Sign up for a guided tour of the oldest continually vacant storefront in America. Attend a championship grave-digging competition, or, should you feel you've wasted yet another day, you can check in for help at a local Misspent Youth Center. In "The Beauty Supply District," a new twenty-four-page story, Knipl attends an evening concert and unwittingly enters the world of wholesale empathizers and chiaroscuro brokers who make the decisions critical to the production of aesthetic pleasure in all its forms -- from the shape of an olive jar to the score of a string quartet.

My worries dissipated completely on reading the extended piece that ends the book, fittingly named "The Beauty Supply District". This long piece, which not coincidentally deals with abstract music as part of its subject matter, has the pacing and the payoff of a multi-part orchestral suite, and brings the overall vision of the Julius Knipl oeuvre into a wonderful focus.
Symmetry plays an overt role in "The Beauty Supply District", and seems to play a secondary role as a confounding factor in the lives of Julius Knipl and all of the odd inhabitants of his eccentric metropolis. Ben Katchor has once again offered up a highly unique vision that represents a tour de force of the comics genre. ( )
