you were my person! The thing that stuck with me the most about you was your dislike (what???) for graphic novels and how you sort of went back and forth on it as we were reading The Dollhouse and Jimmy Corrigan. It's interesting because the class that Emily (shaw) and I have been taking this semester has made me - forced me - to look at comics in a totally (drastically) different way and see it a medium in which the absurd, the radical, the impossible can actually occur - I guess the breaking of conventional boundaries is something that we've been talking about in this class a lot.

My question to you is what you thought of Lynda Barry's book. It is considered a graphic novel - 100% - but there are many ways in which I hesitate to pin it down as such. So I 'm curious about your reaction to it in comparison to the other 2 graphic texts we've read :)
