Tom Sawyer
I think it is safe to say that Randie has low book reading retention. I, too, have some of this. I will read something and my my mind will wander… and it doesn’t help that I just plain forget dates and names and stuff. But visual stuff is a different story… that’s why I love documentaries!
Brig,
I went back through the older strips(Very Funny!). I found one for August 9, 2008(Flounder Fest) in which Randie pans your art for winning first place.
They said it was a portrait of dead flowers and fruit, but I believe there was still life in that painting!
Did you enjoy Manifest?
I read that book SO MANY TIMES in high-school, not because it was assigned, but because it’s cool. Completely wore out my copy.
Love your comic– I’m not an artist, but my sister is, and I sympathize 🙂
Somebody needs to write that book.
UWG… Ryan should be taking notes, eh?
THanks Dani… I lean more t’wards Treasure Island, myself, but Twain is awesome.
Joe… I am glad that you enjoyed some of the older strips. I should revisit Flounder Fest. There are so many festivals out in Monterey that it is easy to make funning over it. Dead flowers? Dead fish, yah?
Manifest was fun to… watch the animation (which was most entertaining and thought-provoking)… as a big selling event?… it will be better, perhaps at the “Second Annual”… A smaller crowd it was.
There’s always “next year”.
Do any newspapers carry Squid Row on their web site?
Oooooo… I love Mark Twain! I started reading him as a kid, but have kept interest through the years. I even took a class on Twain in college. The teacher had the world’s largest private collection of Twain manuscripts/writings. He really knew his stuff. For myself, I own about a dozen books of a 1911 set.
Readers! If you haven’t read Twain, DO SO. And Tom Sawyer is a great place to start. And if you want a very real taste of Twain, get either the CD or DVD of “Hal Holbrook’s Mark Twain”. He’s been doing Twain on stage for over 40 years and is fantastic.
Pete… I have yet to see Hal Holbrook… I have heard that it is quite good. Off to the library!
Joe M… Nope.
Ha! Ha! Hilarious! Tom Sawyer is one of my faves and A Conneticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court.
