  Je ne sais pas combien de temps j'ai relue cette trilogie. Mais la première fois était vers 1994.

  I love how Eisner draws rain! City People Notebook is a loving tribute to humanity, its best and its worst parts. If you're from a big city or simply spend a lot of time in one as I do you'll see a bit of yourself and your peers in the illustrations. I particularly enjoyed "Time Frame," "Borrowed Time," and "Space."

  Recently I've realized that Eisner was much better at short vignettes than he was with longer-form comics, maybe a holdover from his Spirit days. This book is pretty funny, pretty good. It's cute.

  Simply poetic. With but a few lines and artistic sketches of the city and it's lifestyle, this book was a good enough laugh and erratically poignant.
  
  It's great because the imagery is true. Another thing that's so good about this book is that, Eisner completes a story with little words and more images. The lessons and a few life advices he wanted to tell the world are simply captured within his great city landscapes and humorous sketches that puts a smile on your face while you go through it. It's artistic and revolutionary in it's own way. Everyone who fancies art much more than literature would appreciate this but all the same, those who favours literature more would succumb to the same feeling as the former after picking this up. Imaginations, such a powerful thing it is.

  Thought-provoking. If you are reading like a regular comic, you might be disappointed. As a cartoonist and writer, I found the underlying messages to be timeless (ironically a lot of them are about time and a fast-paced society) and brilliant. How often does the average person consider some of the absurdities of urban life and really question them? Human nature doesn't change all that much, sadly. I wonder what Eisner would think today about people wandering down the streets looking at their phones.

  City People is good, Eisner draws portraits of animate and inanimate objects which constantly encircle the city life. Once you read it you get a feeling that with an artist at your disposal and maybe lots of free time you may have written this novel yourself. Nothing great about it.

  Both beautiful and unnerving, Eisner's "City People Notebook" is a vivid depiction of the hustle and bustle of life in a big city.

  Graphically poetic!

  This collection of Eisner out takes was really disappointing - sort of the best of the rest that I didn't think we're worth publishing at the time... and you were right first time.

  Very interesting and I adored the building sketches he created.

  * 2,5 grâce au trait de l'auteur mais les histoires ne m'ont pas trop emballé cette fois ci... *

  Better than New York: The Big City but not nearly as good as The Building. And really only the art is better than NYTBC, as the stories are about on par.

  What can I say, the guy could draw city people!

  Збірка графічних оповідань Айзнера про його рідне та дуже дуже любиме місто. Мені його стиль малюнку неймовірно імпонує, більшість історій зі збірки було цікавезно читати.

  A look at New York's streets. It was sort of average with no real emotional drama.
