What a super impactful work this was! Added benefit, it turned me on to the writing of Paul Auster.

Latest read, Paul Auster's City of Glass, the Graphic Novel (2004) adapted by Paul Karasik & David Mazzucchelli; This 'detective' story of shifting realities & identities is told with incredible inventiveness.
A comic that makes comic creators want to be better at what they do.
Excellent.

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.

And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

The President and his DOJ are, right now, responsible for the largest coverup in modern American history.

Enough. Release the rest of the files, now. Justice is overdue.

Happy Twin Peaks Day to all who celebrate!

Here’s a little stack of graphic novels that feel well at home in the land of David Lynch.

How many have you read?

Will you be having two cookies and a coke today too?

This is very good advice. I’ll add that at least some of the scenes in a story should take place on a hill. Especially if the scene takes place in a city, adding a little slope that the architecture needs to contend with can add a lot of believable interest to the environment.
