Daniel Gillespie Clowes (born April 14, 1961 in Chicago, Illinois) is an Academy   
Award-nominated American author, screenwriter and cartoonist of alternative       
comic books. Most of Clowes' work appears first in his ongoing anthology           
Eightball (1989-present), a collection of self-contained narratives and           
serialized graphic novels. Several of these narratives have been collected

and also adapted another Eightball story into the 2006 film Art School
