With a noirish sensibility that harks back to the golden age of the horror genre and a story line following a group of plague-ridden teenagers in '70s Seattle, this staunchly black-and-white glossy never fails to tap into those libidinally based fears commonly known as the willies. In these at first glance innocuous picture books, the pagan energy that has ruled postwar America comes roaring back, making the Waldo series easily the most libidinally explosive books since Goodnight Moon. More interesting is Funk's return to discussions about what it means to look libidinally at passive, attractive bodies arrayed for us by a painter who has also, by implication, looked at, framed, and possessed them. |
