Thursday was the first meeting of a comic discussion group. We'll see how that goes. Our plan for the year (assuming every-other-month meetings):
- "Global Frequency", by Warren Ellis and various artists
- "Fun Home" by Alison Bechdel
- "Yotsuba&!" by by Kiyohiko Azuma (first 2 volumes)
- "Mister O" by Lewis Trondheim
- "Palestine" by Joe Sacco
- "Women and Children First" (from "Get A Life") and "Maybe Later", both by Philippe Dupuy and Charles Berberian
We'll see how it goes.
I own the Trondheim and the Dupuy-Berberian, and of the others all but "Global Frequency" look easily available from the library. So I stopped by our local downtown comic store, "Vault of Midnight", and picked up copies on Friday night. I was suprised by how busy the store was.
Today I did a little work, stopped by juggling for a few minutes, and did some computer-housekeeping (such as upgrading the version of Drupal I'm using for this blog).
