It Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time: Book 10 of… por Jan Eliot

...because sometimes you just need to read some funnies. Especially when you're only about a quarter of the way into a book that everyone you know loves, and you're getting that sinking feeling you're going to end up hating it, and you want to postpone the inevitable for a little while longer so you start browsing on Amazon and HEY, LOOK! THERE'S A NEW STONE SOUP COLLECTION! And you just got a gift certificate, plus your kid likes this comic too, so it couldn't be perfecter.

If this applies to you, read this book. Or read it (and the earlier Stone Soup collections) if you like fun family cartoons that aren't mawkish, sentimental, or chock-full of gender stereotypes.… (más)

It Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time: Book 10 of… por Jan Eliot

The tenth book of what is becoming one of my favorite family strips. Wry, witty, funny, strong characters and good artwork. Occasionally "serious" topics such as body image in teen girls are explored. I especially like 9-year-old Alix and Gramma Evie, two characters that seem to have the important things in life figured out a bit better than the others. And Biscuit, their dog, almost merits her own strip.

You Can't Say Boobs On Sunday: The Second C… por Jan Eliot

The second collection of my favorite current family comic strip, since "Fof Better or for Worse" ended. "Zits" is more a teen strip than a family one, and "Baby Blues", while often more hilarious, lacks the range, depth, and strong cast of this fine strip. And may I just add that 9-year-old Alix and the grandmother, Evie, are two of my favorite and coolest characters in comic strips?

Brace Yourself: Book Nine of the Syndicated Cartoon… por Jan Eliot

"Holly thinks I'm old, Mom."
"So? You think I'm old."
"Touche."

And, Joan and Wally get unexpectedly pregnant, cool Gramma Evie is dating someone 15 years younger, and Alix is still the coolest 9-year-old girl in the comics. And Joan's baby shower is attended by women characters from Zits, Dilbert, Cathy and For Better or For Worse, which was a brilliant idea by Jan Eliot, whose own strip has turned into one of the best blended family strips out there. And we say welcome to newcomer Luci Stone Weinstein, 9lbs 8 oz.… (más)
