A dysfunctional family lives in the shadow of a world famous comic
strip and its tyrannical creator Caleb is a middle-aged painter
with a non-starter career. He also happens to be the only child of
one of the world's most famous cartoonists, Jimmi Wyatt. Known for
the internationally beloved father and son comic Sonny Side Up,
Jimmi made millions drawing saccharine family stories while
neglecting his own son. Now sober, Caleb is haunted by his wasted
past and struggling to take responsibility for his present before
it's too late. His always patient boyfriend, James, is reaching the
end of his rope. When Caleb gets the chance to step out from his
father's shadow and shape the most public aspect of the family
business, he makes every bad decision and watches his life fall
apart. Is it too late to repair the harm? Are we forever doomed to
make the same mistakes our parents did? Joe Ollmann is a master at
portraying inner torment. His characters vacillate and sob and
rage. His furrow-browed and deeply-lined cartooning has never been
more expressive than in Fictional Father. Caleb storms around and
slumps in equal measure as he tries to figure out who he is beyond
the neglected son of a famous man. In addition to being a
devastating portrait of the Wyatt family, Fictional Father is a
hilariously sardonic interrogation of art-making and cartooning in
particular.
