Fantasy vs Reality

I actually had to do this once with a class of second graders while I was a substitute teacher.

Not too much to say about this one. All these kids are kind of jerks!

ANOTHER STRIP THURSDAY (in addition to some Year One strips in the interim.)

The Black Emerald

"Jeanne has this way of writing self-consciousness inside these perfect, self-contained worlds with signifiers that make them seem like they are the world we live in but if that world were...I don’t even know exactly. Mystifying and uncomfortable and bulging with complicated, contradictory feeling just below the surface of everything. Seriously check out this book." —Imogen Binnie, author of Nevada

The Dream of Doctor Bantam

". . . Thornton's Dr. Bantam is pure Americana, cinematic and idly mean. It's lush and trashy. I guess it's the most graphic-novelly feeling book about loss I can think of. It's all punk heart, messily thudding." —Eileen Myles
