My mom picked this up at a used book store, but I got ahold of it before her. This book is interesting because it has a long introduction, and then she talks about some of the inspiration for her Sunday cartoons. ( ) Canada, ca 1988-1994 Vi følger en lille familie, Elly - 39 år, John - ca jævnaldrende, Elizabeth, 9 år, Michael 10 år og familiens hund, Farley. Denne samling dækker søndagstriber, så det går stærkt. Elly og John får en baby April, som når børnehavealder i løbet af albummet. Michael kommer på college. En af hans venner, Lawrence, springer ud som bøsse. Flere af striberne er med i "There Goes My Baby!" men denne samling har også nogle små baggrundshistorier, der er meget søde uden at være specielt dybe. Fx om en joke om at bo så langt ude at man klæder sig pænt på for at køre på lossepladsen, for man møder jo nok nogle man kender. Striberne om Lawrence gav åbenbart en mængde reaktioner, både negative og positive. Mest negative fra bibelbæltet. Glimrende skildringer af hverdagssituationer. The 15th Anniversary collection of For Better or For Worse is not quite the extravaganza they had for the tenth. You still get some color Sunday strips--of relatively contemporary vintage--but the prose is limited to an occasional paragraph explaining some of the inspiration for a particular Sunday strip and a three page essay regarding the storyline where Lawrence comes out as being gay. Add all that to the year's worth of reprints and you get a nice book to put on your shelf. --J. Actually two books in one, the first half of this oversize collection is a selection of Sunday strips, with occasional annotation by Lynn Johnston, telling the origin of one idea or another. Even though it was evident from the photos of her and her family on her other books, her annotation makes clear just how much of this strip is derived from her own family and experiences. The second half continues the regular collection of strips from where the last collection left off. Michael gets a job at Megafood, where he meets and starts dating Rhetta, his second-to-last relationship. Gord gets a job at the garage he will one day own. Lawrence has plans for gardening as a career, Michael in journalism. Anthony is introduced as Liz's first boyfriend. Elly's parents visit for Christmas. Gordon gets his own apartment, above the garage he works at. The kids are starting to make their way into the world. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Appartiene alle SerieFor Better or For Worse (Retrospective)
For years and years, Lynn Johnston has entertained, enlightened, and educated the world about the delights and disappointments of family life. Her strip is poignant and funny--and very often, universal. She captures a mother's frustration at an unruly teenager, a father's surprise in a growing daughter, and kids' various views about their future as they grow up. In It's the Thought That Counts, For Better or For Worse looks back on many of the series' high points through Lynn's hand-picked selection of color Sundays: the unexpected birth of baby April in 1991; the daring revelation that teenage family friend Lawrence was gay; the fear that comes with aging parents. The collection also includes those quietly funny moments in families: a father and his kids romping with abandon; a closet full of clothes that no longer span a middle-aged girth; a teenage son's first experience with a crush. Lynn Johnston fashioned the Patterson family after her own lively brood. Her real life experiences--divorce, childbirth, pets, and parents--show through in her work in the most wise and wonderful ways. Even better, this anniversary book contains Johnston's comments about some of her favorite strips in an amusing and informative narrative. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
