The Wang: The Big One

(Squid Works, 2004)
™ and © 2004 Stan Yan

A graphic novel that ostensibly tells the story of Eugene Wang’s college life: featuring Eugene’s dysfunctional relationships with his girlfriend and his mother. In fact, his relationships are so dysfunctional that Eugene’s girlfriend breaks up with him and starts dating his mother. The dysfunction also extends to his job as a telemarketer for an investment bank. The story culminates with the inevitable therapy session seminar group. Stan Yan wrote and drew this novel for Squid Works Comics. Robert Elrod of Swinesong Comics describes The Wang as “The Simpsons meets Chasing Amy.”
