Book Description

2008
The award winning "Chronicles of Some Made" is a graphic novel which follows a team of robots as they discover what it is that they are programmed for. Essentially it is an existential love story, but it also is something of a memoir as well as a treatise on the importance of urban wildlife and hot dog stands.
From the website Comicmix:
"I hesitate to state definitively that Chronicles of Some Made introduces a great new talent to comics for two reasons - just because I haven't heard of Tannenbaum before doesn't mean he hasn't done anything before, and trying to predict the future is always risky. But this is a lovely graphic collection, with two fine stories, and that's more than enough for now. If you see that sad little robot on a shelf somewhere, pick him up and take a look..(Or go to Tannenbaum's website for the first chapter of "The Dent.")"
From the site Comics should be good:
"It's always nice to see creators tackling difficult subjects in neat ways, and Tannenbaum does this here. If you've ever been in a relationship, you'll probably enjoy this. If you haven't, you're probably living in a mountain shack planning to overthrow the government and have bigger things to worry about, so never mind."
From comicsworthreading:
These are really short, quiet pieces that offer reflections on human nature. The metaphors are open-ended and allow for a wide variety of interpretation. What you take away from this story really depends on what you bring into it... The characters and musings offered here will stick with you for a while and offer the chance for personal reflection. Writing this review showed me how much these stories had subtly worked their way into my own heart. It'd be a wonderful addition to any comic library.
So you should really buy a copy! Those are some good reviews!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Chronicles of Some Made, made my day!, January 27, 2009
This review is from: Chronicles of Some Made" (Paperback)
This is one of the graphic novels that transcends the comics genre and offers a stirring and emotionally resonant story along with humor, excellent artwork, and, hey, robots! The author published this with a Xeric grant, which gives a nod to the quality of his work.

If I were to compare the author's style with anyone, I would include in that list many of the earlier newspaper comics like Gasoline Alley, Walt & Skeezix, Popeye, and Little Nemo, as well as those more current artists who owe their style to the same, such as Jaime Hernandez, and others who I can't think of at the moment. There is a wonderful economy of line, emotional depth to the characters (and hey, they're robots! So, that's extra super!), and attention to background and setting.

This book is worth the purchase price. Support independent comics!

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, poignant, stirring., January 27, 2009
This review is from: Chronicles of Some Made" (Paperback)
Robots robots robots.

Robots in love, robots in loss, robots in contemplation.

If you love robots you will love this book; if you love humanity you will love this book!

I challenge you to read the second story without crying.

Strong artwork overall and several pages that are just stunning.
