I was impressed. It told the story well, the art was compelling, and (speaking as a US historian) the history was pretty good, given the limited space available to tell such a complex story. I'll be reading more.
In the last couple of weeks I've found myself beginning to look into graphic novels. I haven't read comics in more than 20 years, but a friend pointed me to a great one on Gettysburg. Does anyone have any recommendations for a neophyte comic reader?
That sounds like a better way to camp. The last time my friends went camping, I drove back to town each night and stayed in a hotel. Sleeping on rocks with rowdy fellow campers was never really my thing. Cheers to those who enjoy real camping - this seems more my speed.
I'm going to make myself unpopular here, but for me, anything but metal works.
I should expand on that statement.
I actually don't mind metal, its just not for me while I'm getting tattooed. I regularly have some on my iPod.
I have some text-based art. I have a couple of pieces that chart the fonts of our local transit system over the last 60 years. I love that kind of graphical representation.
Oh God. Its true. I've recently moved to a large warehouse loft and my first thought was that I could build kitty-infrastructure like that. I may have to hit the hardware store on the way home.
We are ridiculous. Our littlest cat was scared by a bug the other night. His tail went all poofy and my wife and I went rushing over to console him. Over a bug. A small bug.
Sigh.
