Just like my mix-up with Ms. Marvel, I accidentally skipped a book and read volume 3 of The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl: Squirrel You Really Got Me Now before reading volume 2, Squirrel You Know it’s True. Fortunately, missing two did not affect my enjoyment of three, as both books have contained story lines. However, catching up by reading two did give me a few “ah ha” moments of now understanding references in three. All three Squirrel Girl graphic novels, that I have read so far, written by Ryan […]
“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?

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 […]
45 in 140
One of the greatest books of all time! I laughed. I cried. I made my husband read it. I will be gifting a copy to everyone I know. Winter Solstice Holiday of Choice shopping done! I had no idea, but in 2017, The Daily Show with Trevor Noah opened up a museum near Trump Tower featuring a compilation of some of the 45th President’s most famous (read” notorious, peculiar, insane) tweets. Then in 2018, luckily for those of us who missed the exhibit or don’t […]
The ups and downs of routine changes
The team of Audrey Vernick, Liz Garton Scanlon and Chris Raschka probably had a substitute teacher or two during their school days. However, I wonder if they were as unsure of them as the narrator is of their substitute teacher in Dear Substitute. Finding out that their teacher is out unexpectantly (why did Mrs. Giordano not warn them?) all sorts of feelings pop up for one student. After all, Miss Pelly changes their routines, cannot pronounce some of the student’s names, she reads new books […]
They think, therefore they ARRRR!!!!!
Yo ho ho! And a bottle of Milk! Listen up you scurry mates! I have one whale of a tale to tell you about! When one tough pirate… bus driver… is all about how brrrave and strrrong pirrrates… I mean kinderrrgarteners are when they are off to their first day of school. That is, until his beloved parrot, Polly, flies off because of stormy seas…. Ah… bumpy roads. This leaves him to show that he might not be so brave himself after all. But with […]
