** spoiler alert ** Almost caught up with the series! At this point in the strip's trajectory, Schulz seems to be more influenced by the outside world and pop culture than in the previous decades. One of the things I've enjoyed about Peanuts is that it has never seemed dated to me, but I'm thinking that it's possible most collections just pull the really super-dated strips. For example, in this volume Peppermint Patty gets Bo Derek-style cornrows for a few days. Snoopy keeps playing tennis and jogging (although noticeably less than in the previous volume), and some specific players are named, one of whom is not nearly recognizable 30 years later as she must have been at the time. There are a couple of disco references, one strip with a roller-skating Snoopy, and in a strange turn of events Snoopy's Beagle Scouts (Woodstock and his bird friends) get into a late-night brawl after having a few too many root beers. Even though I am still enjoying reading the books, it's starting to feel as if Schulz was grasping for material which is why the pop culture references start being used so much more heavily. While I'm still enjoying seeing the strip's journey through the decades, I'm not sure I'm enjoying all the individual strips *quite* as much as in the beginning. Some strips are starting to feel formulaic. Although it could be because I've now read three DECADES of this same strip. And have two decades left to go!

I've been looking for Jack Cole's Plastic Man since I read an article about it my Art Spiegleman (which he apparently expanded into a book, which is now out of print). What is most amazing about Plastic Man (among many amazing things) is the shere efficiency of the story telling. More will happen in a single panel than would happen in a couple pages of your average comic. And what is is particularly remarkable about this is that, for the most part, Cole has not crammed the panels through with text and action (though occasionally he does). Instead he has a totally unerring sense of what does and does not need to be seen in order to move the story along. If you step back and look at it, different panels may seem disjointed, given the amount of important things that happen *between* panels, and yet while reading through it, it feels more fluid than any comic I have yet read. Now, there's a lot more that's brilliant about this book: Cole makes Plastic Man originally the gangster Eel O'Brian (great name or what!) and he keeps up his old persona as a criminal in order to better fight crime; the humor is hilarious and silly, with just the right amount of edge; the action is perfect; the stories work both as parodies and sincere reworkings of Golden Age Superhero stuff at the same time; etc., etc. But what is most amazing to watch and interesting to study is the sheer level of craft that Cole has put into the story telling. Its a shame that these collections have already gone back out of print because everyone who wants to better understand comics should read them.

Học Sinh Chân Kinh - Tập 17: Gieo Gì Gặt Nấy Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Alissa Nutting is such a wildly gifted & inventive storyteller, it's hard not to keep popping down the tales in this collection one after the other like candy, like a bag of gumdrops that feel deceptively easy to chew but are actually laced with a powerful hallucinogenic substance that turns into an elixir of pithy insight at the last possible moment. I felt almost guilty about how much I was enjoying myself at times. Nutting's narrative style is rapid-fire, economical, and surreally recognizable, as ingeniously weird as Charlie Kaufman, as widkedly outrageous as David Sedaris. Her (exclusively female) protagonists find themselves in all sorts of unconscionably degrading positions, but the luckier ones muster up just enough humor & self-respect to weather their scenes of betrayal. The standouts for me were "Bandleader's Girlfriend" (about the convergence between a hedonistic rocker chick and her straitlaced sister), "Ant Colony" (a truly eerie, incisive allegory of how society captures & sustains its "ideal woman"), "Deliverywoman" (a parody of modern relationship healing between a naive spacewoman & her psychopathic mother who could be played by Sigourney Weaver on steroids), "Hellion" (about a deceased woman's surprisingly human relationship with the devil), "Gardener" (a possibly perfect contemporary fairy tale about a frigid marriage transformed by randy garden gnomes), and "She-Man" (the tragic gem of this collection, about the impossibility of achieving love in a wordl driven by bigotry & hatred). It's a thankless job being female, but this book shows that it also makes for a brutally fun read.
