The artwork is great. That is probably the best thing that i can say about this graphic novel. It's philosophy, while i completely get where the author is coming from, is too nihilistic and based on a totally different perspective of reality to mine. The overarching theme here is death. And the primary precept is one of ignorance of what happens to one after it. And about 'living life' to the maximum and experiencing it 'moment by moment'. To me this just appears a bit delusional. The human portrayed in Daytripper is a lost wanderer, steeped in illusion and worldly baubles and scarily, reveling in it. He tries to find 'meaning' but stops when the going gets tough. He settles for sentimental mundanity and is not brave enough to confront the delusions he has built around himself and that which plagues his society, prefering to live a lie and ultimately die in it as well.
