Summary:	"From the imagination of legendary animator and two-time Oscar nominee Don Hertzfeldt comes a hilarious fever-dream vision of the apocalypse. Created during sleepless nights while he worked on his animated films, The End of the World was illustrated entirely on Post-It notes over the course of several years, slowly taking shape from all the deleted scenes, bad dreams, and abandoned ideas that were too strange to make it to the big screen, including essential early material that was later developed into the animated classic World of Tomorrow. Hertzfeldt's visually striking work transcends its unusual nature and taps into the deeply human, universal themes of mortality, identity, memory, loss, and parenthood . . . with the occasional monstrous biting eel descending from the sky."--Provided by publisher.

Description
Summary:	Legendary animator Don Hertzfeldt is beloved for his wildly imaginative vision and understated, ironic sense of existential humor. His work has the ability to transcend its singular nature and tap into universal themes like mortality, nature, isolation, parenthood, and, naturally, the mutant apocalypse.<br> <br> In his first and only book to date, written and drawn entirely on post-it notes, he uses deceptively simple, charming characters to bring to life a post-apocalyptic earth. This picaresque traipse through the end times is a visually striking work that includes a chase by mutants, a macabre human display in a modern art museum, and a hoped-for visit from the Easter Eel.<br> <br> This is the perfect book for anyone who knows the apocalypse is imminent, and wants to laugh at it.
