I am glad that Piyu's love of craiglist introduced me to illustrator Sophie Blackall through her thusly themed blog. Some are more comical than others (I love the man in a purple shirt who was "having a bad day and looked offal [sic]"), but all have a sense of misty, aching regret.
See also I Saw You..., a similarly themed and lovely book collecting comics by a number of artists including a few other Brooklyn-based illustrators. On the whole it's more lighthearted but there are also some seriously sigh-inducing ones.
