you had me at 00100000

No mention of the fact Hayes' page has a prominent link to the Dawes Act?

He isn't "a Hodor." Hodor is what he's called, not what he is. What he is is a Solomon Grundy.

I got a "Steve Perry came out" notification for this?

You, my friend, have obviously never seen Big Money Rustlas

I agree that it wouldn't be the same story without the art, but setting it in motion completely changed the feel for me. Everything that's so stark in the book becomes quite a bit softer and warmer when it's animated. And for me personally, watching hand drawn animation in French comes with a lot of nostalgia, so I…

Does anyone else hear nails on a chalkboard when non-fiction is referred to as a "graphic novel"? I don't want to call it a comic book either, but ugh.

She was afraid of being hassled cause she was wearing lip stick. She was wearing lip stick because her boyfriend made fun of her for not wearing lip stick. "For the fun of it" is marginally worse. Or should I say, Marji-nally worse!

It's also remarkable how everyone who is mean to her just happens to be fat, ugly, stupid, or some combination thereof. I'm not faulting a teenager for being immature, but I think it's fair to say she's a lot more grating in the second book.

Godzilla is a Western pleasure?

Truly, the racial politics of the destruction of watermelons are remarkable. From the crush of Gallagher's hammer, to the well placed sword strokes of Matthew Broderick in Glory, our nation may never be whole so long as this issue dominates the national consciousness.

I caught Solange live once. She kicked almost nobody the entire performance, so I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt here.

Hey and Warren Zevon but I don't actually know anyone who's really into him that I haven't forced into that position. Love that man, though.

Avatar: The Last Airbender. For people my age, indicates an open mind and a genuine appreciation for quality narratives. Also gives me a hook for talking them into superhero comics AND Water Margin, so it's useful.

You're thinking of Anne Murray.

Yep, MJH and Amy Jo Johnson. My crushes were all completely normal, and probably didn't include the fairy from Fern Gully at all.

Nobody said that. Stop asking.

Interesting article, but the only thing I can think about now is whether the chicken salad sandwich came with tomatoes.
