ceruseeGraphic novels:
Nibot, Root, author, Colleen Coover, artist: Banana Sunday
(what's better than scientifically enhanced monkeys? Divine monkeys! I am positive that this is somehow a comment on evolution vs. creationism in public schools. It is also cute beyond the telling of it. I hope Nibot and Coover collaborate on a million graphic novels, so I can keep reading adorable work like this in the future).
Hartzell, Andy: Fox Bunny Funny
(the church sequence made me misty. I cannot add anything intelligent to the existing critical praise for this book, so let me simply say that I agree with it).
O'Malley, Bryan Lee: Lost at Sea
(I've avoided Bryan Lee O'Malley work--despite nearly universal praise from people whose taste in books I respect highly--because an art snob friend dislikes O'Malley's style so much. I actually don't think much of my art snob friend's taste in books, which just goes to show you how irrationally stupid people can be sometimes.
Anyway, I fucking loved this book. Goddamn fucking loved it. It's a wonderful book, well-written and...the art conveys the story and does it well. Everything else is just toppings).
For those of you waiting in breathless anticipation--yes, the Nishi Keiko magazine was still there, and I bought it. Woo!
