Comic Art

With a pow and a zap, cartoon imagery has recently exploded. Artists, graphic novelists, and zine makers everywhere are taking advantage of the potential to tell stories in a recognizable and familiar language. From Japan to Israel to the Americas, artists use cartoon imagery to address problematic issues that are difficult to assimilate into the mainstream through purely realistic depictions. In the process, they participate in the construction of identity in its many guises, weaving aspects such as race, gender, sexual orientation, violence and war, loss of innocence, and the commodification of identity into complex, layered tales. And at times, they make us laugh at ourselves.

Attended the opening of the Comic Release show with the Pack. Very nice, will have to come back to spend more time with less people around.

Beers and Polish food with the boyz at the BBT. Ride over was iffy in this snow fall and bill was higher than expected, but we had a good time I think. Dale ran off with some glassware, the scoundral!! Pierogi's were good but we have had better, needed more butter and onions!! Dollar import night, but selection picked over....Garlack was carded despite his sixteen years past the required age.
