Darcel Disappoints, a semi-autobiographical creation by renowned artist and illustrator Craig Redman, is a humorous and optimistically dour character whose life has been chronicled weekly for nearly a decade on DarcelDisappoints.com. In One Year in New York, he recounts the highs and lows of life in the Big Apple by sharing his adventures around the city in typical Darcel fashion: self-deluding yet amusing and endearing. A visual diary of sorts, it includes themed musings around holidays, special events, and New York's iconic experiences.
