Solitaire - I only sorta agree with yr assessment of Rusty Brown; though I must say, Ware captures this sort of element in a way that is far more disturbing than anything else I've ever seen in comics or elsewhere.
Actually, I think that dismissing Rusty Brown as being little more than 'dissing comics fans and collectors in general' out of hand is very unfair, and a shallow reading of the work.
Personally, I wish that Ware would move on to another topic. Like you said, between Clowes' Pussey, and Dorkin's Eltingville work - not to mention many lesser talents - this is a well-beaten path. I do appreciate that Ware is doing it in a unique way.
I do disagree with the notion that Chris Ware himself is even slightly hip. If the interviews I've read with the man (and his wife!) are any indication, that cleary is not the case.
