The larger Ukelear Meltdown project is the work of the three women currently in this living room, which, as it happens, is my own, with Chast and Marx joined by my wife, Martha Parker, who is the producer and director of a short-form comedy series about the band.“Patty is the one who first got the ukulele,” Chast explains. “I only recently learned what an ox was—a castrated bull. She often casts her eyes down, but this is less modesty than attunement to the street life beneath her feet.“Bill would say that this has a lot to do with the fact that I grew up in Brooklyn at a time when New York was a little rougher,” she says, contemplating her own sidewalk contemplations. “Bill is in his element.”Although she pined for Manhattan in her early Connecticut years, Chast heartily affirms that it was a great place to raise her children.

A little later, after grilled cheese, Chast takes the visitor on a tour of the staging area.

So when the cartoonist and graphic storyteller Roz Chast invites a friend to dinner near her West Side pied-à-terre, where she escapes from her staider, greener Connecticut life, the Turkish restaurant she chooses inevitably turns out to be the most purely Chastian locale in New York: even on a Friday night, the tables seem filled with disconsolate, anxious outsiders, and the waiters wear shirts blazoned with the restaurant’s name. “No one encouraged me to be a cartoonist,” she recalls.
