Why do we hurt those that we love? “Quimby the Mouse”

Quimby The Mouse from This American Life on Vimeo.

I love this fun little video by cartoonist Chris Ware and I think you will too. Ware provided the drawings and story.The animation was done by John Kuramoto and the catchy music is “Eugene” by Andrew Bird.

Ware is an American Comic book artist and cartoonist who is known for his Acme Novelty Library series and his graphic novel Jimmy Corrigan, the Smartest Kid on Earth. His unique, almost geometric style, is said to draw on early 20th century American influences.

The piece was produced for a live stage performance called “This American Life — Live!”
