Can’t Get No | Rick Veitch

Chad Roe, the CEO of the Eter-No-Mark marker corporation, comes under financial peril and public scrutiny when he is sued because vandals have covered the city with graffiti via his indelible markers. This sends Chad into a downward spiral, and a night of heavy debauchery. When he awakes the next morning, he finds that he has been “tattooed” from head to toe by his own product.

Chad’s nightmare bleeds into one of a larger scale–the next day is September 11, 2001. Plagued by anxiety about the recent events, the newfound social outcast hits the road, and travels across the country, carousing and meeting new people.

Can’t Get No is a post-modern story about a man trying to find himself in unsure times. Chad’s character seeks to find redemption in an unforgiving world,and the reader must decide - does his character deserve to be forgiven? Dark, complex and strange, this graphic novel would best suit an adult audience with its intricate writing and mature themes. An unusual read, Can’t Get No is a wonderfully esoteric view of our modern world and society.
