The cartoonist, Ben Katchor, is the subject of this portrait video. It is an informal visit to his now defunct studio way down near the tip of Manhattan. We also get a glimpse of his wife and pumpkin collection. They stand as mute testimony to the juvenile joy that pumps through the pale body of this unique individual who thrives on the metropolitan melodies that float up from the busy street below his workplace. From that lofty perch of domestic warmth and brutal, newspaper deadlines, the viewer is privy to a man and the tools that create his alter ego: Julius Knipl, real estate agent.
