Lemme tell you a not-so-secret-secret about ‘adulthood’: Nobody knows what the f they are doing. So much of being an adult is dealing with sucky situations – all the sudden a lot of your friend’s parents are dying, or your sister-in-law gets cancer (again), or this one has an affair that devastates that one, or your cousin suffers another miscarriage while her sister is expecting twins. Literally, life just becomes chock full of situations that you are not prepared to face, and suddenly you […]
“Comics to make you cry laughing and cry crying”
When I was a kid, my dad had a couple of volumes of collections of The Far Side Gallery comics, and I… well, to be honest, when I first read them I was much too young to understand more than one in thirty of them, but eventually, I loved them. I was so envious of Gary Larson, and his ability to both draw and be funny at the same time, that I spent a significant amount of time in middle school pretending that I also had both […]
These were not quite the buff dudes I had pictured, but they definitely get the job done
Cannonball Bingo Spot – Cover Art. I mean, could you pass this up? Do you know about Owl Turd Comix? Because you should. It’s … uber relatable? And hilarious? And topical? A little bit too on the nose on occasion? And other times, just 100% the plain honest truth. So this is a collection of some of the best Owl Turd strips, and I highly recommend you check it out, if you could use a laugh as much as I could, right […]
“When you’re happy for yourself, it fills you. When you’re happy for someone else, it pours over. It was almost too bright to watch.”
Throwback Thursday Bingo Square. Goodreads tells me I first read Garden Spells in 2010. (Or maybe that’s when I first signed up for Goodreads, who knows?) Either way, it was a while back. But I’ve been in transition again (in two houses, in different rooms now in each house), so I’ve been moving a lot of my things, packing others up for storage and (painfully) whittling back my bookcases, for space reasons, and the “keeper book” criteria was as stringent as I could manage (which is […]
“But I made the mistake of trusting that the belief in myself would forever protect me.”
I love comics; I’m heartily devoted to the MCU (and, to somewhat a lesser degree, the DCEU); I am all about the fanfic that springs up around all of my favorite mainstream comic characters, but I have a confession: I don’t actually usually enjoy reading comic books all that much. I don’t know what it is about the medium – I know I’m a text over pictures kinda gal, but I love so much of the art of comic books, that I don’t think that’s […]
I underlined so many things in this book. In pen. Pink pen.
So I feel a lot of ways about this book, which is basically the opposite of the premise of the book, but what are you going to do? To begin with, I think the authors’ stated premise of the book is both valiant and worthwhile: “to turn your bullshit wish into a goal that can actually be achieved.” That sounds good, right? Sounds… so much better than endlessly trying to figure out why a thing is happening, or how you can prevent bad things from […]
