Comic

This is something close to my own experience, and to Suzanne's over the past few years...

Both of us have had the opportunity to meet people from a variety of backgrounds. Quite a few of the people we are meeting live in the area of the city where we are. The point is, we are all people underneath aren't we?

Maus

I hope that Art Spiegelman doesn't get mad at me about putting the cover to his book MAUS on this blog. I first read this book in 1999 in a high school in London, England. Funny that I should find a book written in the US while in the UK, but....

I found it again Friday while walking around Chapters.... (never a good idea for me to be loose in a bookstore with money, but...) had to buy it. Read it in one day.

I highly recomend it to anyone.

Comics Continuted

Next comic I like - InkPen.

Imagine if comic characters lived as we do - their day job is their time in the comic book, and then they go to the employment agency to talk to their agent, have romances outside of the strip, change jobs....

It's wierd but fun!

Comics - which strip is your fav?

I have a couple a favourite comic strips that I put into my palm every day. This one, 9 Chickweed Lane, is probably a very acquired taste. I really need to go and buy one of the books about this character who is a teacher - her opinions about teaching are quite similar to my own.

Also, the strips this guy does about cats are incredible. He has thier mannerisms down really well. I grew up with a cat, and I can see the tabby we had in the cats he puts in the strip.
