Shirley Jackson wrote her short story The Intoixcated in the early 1940s. It was published in The Lottery: or, The Adventures of James Harris in 1949. The title, drunken party and James Harris are the only parts that end up in the comic.
The storyboards were drawn one day in July 2018. The trace monotypes were printed from the end of July to early August 2018.
This comic appears in Now: The New Comics Anthology #8, edited by Eric Reynolds, published by Fantagraphics.
These trace monotypes were printed with relief ink on newsprint using pencil, crayon, marker and finger pressure.
