The story tells of George Sprott, a vain and selfish 81-year-old retired television personality who reflects on his life,^[1] and whose life is recalled by those around him after his death.^[2] The comics are sprinkled with photos of models Seth made of buildings in the fictional Southern Ontario town of Dominion.

The story first ran as a serial in The New York Times Magazine in one-page episodes^[1] in 2006. A collection in large dimensions appeared in 2009 from Drawn & Quarterly.^[2] The book won a Doug Wright Award in 2010.^[3]

In 2017, Vancouver-based composer Mark Haney premiered his Omnis Temporalis based on the story with an immersive cartoon space of the television station, CKCK, designed by Seth himself. A recording of the performance was released as a vinyl record with packaging designed by Seth in 2022.^[2]
