Delisle takes his noted outsider perspective and applies it domestically, this time as a boy amongst men through the universal rite of passage of the summer job. Even as a teenager, Delisle's keen eye for hypocrisy highlights the tensions of class and the rampant sexism an all-male workplace permits. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGuy works the floor doing physically strenuous tasks. He is one of the few young people on site, and furthermore gets the job through his father's connections, a fact which rightfully earns him disdain from the lifers. Guy's dad spends his whole career in the white collar offices, working 9 to 5 instead of the rigorous 12-hour shifts of the unionized labor. Guy and his dad aren't close, and \u003ci\u003eFactory Summers \u003c\/i\u003eleaves Delisle reconciling whether the job led to his dad's aloofness and unhappiness. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOn his days off, Guy finds refuge in art, a world far beyond the factory floor. Delisle shows himself rediscovering comics at the public library, and preparing for animation school-only to be told on the first day, \"There are no jobs in animation.\" Eager to pursue a job he enjoys, Guy throws caution to the wind.","brand":"Drawn \u0026 Quarterly","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50806705783016,"sku":"9781770464599","price":21.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/9539\/3512\/files\/imageloader_cd3ce8ab-64e2-4037-85c2-949e49e80a2e.jpg?v=1790302986","url":"https:\/\/shop.kuumba.app\/products\/factory-summers","provider":"Kuumba","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
