At the age of 76, the painter/cartoonist Jerry Moriarty returned to his childhood home in Binghamton, New York. Moriarty then interrogated his past via the act of painting, alternating between unconventional pen-and-ink panels that take place in the present and full-color paintings recreating his past. Whatsa Paintoonist? is a masterpiece of concision, remembrance, imagination, and artistry, imbued with the love of life and family.
