Seth presents two very different autobiographical pieces, and the continuation of Part Four of the ongoing Clyde Fans serial. In the latest dispatch from the beautifully crafted Clyde Fans, Abraham muses further on the ruins of his life. Then, in the first sustained sequence of the two Matchcard brothers, Abraham and Simon finally sit down together and begin to talk. 'Nothing Lasts' is the first half of a sketchbook memoir about Seth's childhood and adolescence in small-town Ontario. Finally, the third section of this volume consists of entries from the comic-strip diary Seth has been keeping for almost a decade. This lushly designed collection of stories comprises an anthology of the different types of cartooning work Seth has done over his two-decade-long career.
