Deitch's The BOULEVARD of BROKEN DREAMS was chosen by Time magazine in 2005 as one of the 100 best English-language graphic novels ever written.

In 1933 New York, animator Teddy Mishkin is hard at work on the latest cartoon short featuring Waldo the Cat, with the help of the not-so-imaginary Waldo, whom to Teddy is all too real and who offers Teddy dangerous advice about his life and work, in a humorist graphic novel.

"The place is New York City in 1933. The setting: the Fontaine Talking Fables animation studio. Teddy Mishkin–definitely alcoholic, possibly insane–is hard at work on the latest cartoon short for Waldo the Cat, the "star" of Fontaine's stable of animated characters. But little does anyone (except Teddy) realize that Waldo is real–and that he is Teddy's insidiously helpful assistant."

Kim Deitch began doing comic strips for The East Village Other in 1967. In 1969 he became the editor of Gothic Blimp Works, an underground comics tabloid. Since then, his work has appeared in RAW, Pictopia, Zero Zero, Nickelodeon Magazine, Details, and Little Lit. He lives in New York City.

"Excellent comic from one of the modern cartooning forefather. Delightful story with touch of pathos and elements of cosmic humor. A must read."
