The new issue of Watching Days Become Years is a cycle of short stories. Each has its own theme, but they mostly revolve around life in the quiet side streets of Los Angeles, California. The exception is a travel diary of a less than twenty-four hour long escape to San Francisco - to walk over new hills and be mesmerized by the difference and to hear an amazing concert by Ornette Coleman. The art is more refined than any of LeVine's work to date and illustrates his amazing to capture the moment.

Jeff LeVine's, "Watching Days Become Years #1 "
presents 40 pages of unique and personal comics, real life stories set
in Chapel Hill, San Francisco, Portland, and Los Angeles. This is a collection
of the author’s thoughts on working and city living. The tone ranges
from darkly comic and down to earth, to startling clear observations on
the world at large, all skillfully drawn with the eye of a poet.
The Comics Journal has said about the author, "Is it actually
autobiographical? In the end, it doesn't particularly matter. The work
is powerful in all its aspects. And that LeVine is able to accomplish
this while experimenting with form is all the more impressive."
Jeff LeVine's comics have previously been published in the cult 90's series,
No Hope and Lust for Life, as well as in numerous anthologies,
and he edited eleven issues of the magazine Destroy All Comics.
