![]() ![]() Now I wasn’t a comic book virgin before our trip but I never read a series regularly, collected, or anywhere close to obsessed over a comic book series before. In return I got a stopover in San Fransisco, a trip to the zoo, and a new obsession with comic books. In a moment of weakness, and perhaps excessive sleepiness, I agreed to Jim’s idea that we go to San Diego Comic Con as our summer vacation (yes, that was when you could decide to go three months out and still get a good hotel and a 4 day pass). Sunday Comics articles will be written by the Bookish Ladies and feature guest posts by Jim, our Bookish Gentleman aka the Hijacked Hubby, who you’ll meet in this Sunday’s official first post. I know it’s not Sunday but I wanted to kick off the new feature with an extra post focusing on one of my all time favorite series, Mouse Guard by David Petersen.įlashback to April 2009. I’m happy to introduce our newest ongoing feature, Sunday Comics, a semimonthly series focusing on comic books, graphic novels, and other stories told through a combination of visual and written media. ![]()

Moss herself says that she loves this format that she stumbled upon because it allows her to explore the world through a child's eyes. This book is the format of a journal or diary and is penned in a black and white composition notebook. ![]() Amelia's Notebook was her first deviation from that format. ![]() She started her first career making picture books. ![]() Moss's work spans the many ages of a child.

So because his clothes are physical things that Abbey and everyone can see, do his clothes just float in the air? They must, because when Caspian goes to grab Abbey a snack when they are at the hotel together, she says it might look suspicious if ‘food is floating in the air.’ So when he walks around with her do people see floating clothes?Īlso, Caspian can pick up objects but he can’t touch Abbey? That seems kind of stupid…the author just did that so there would be sexual tension between them. ![]() ![]() I didn't really get Caspian in this book. (Her perfume making wasn't really as important or written about in this story, weirdly enough given the cover art.)
