Reading and Watching

The discovery of the quickly growing graphic novel section at the library fills my heart with the spring flowers that are being frozen by the unseasonable cold here. (Snow at the end of April? Here? Seems like a bad joke.) I read “12 Days” by June Kim and “Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic” by Alison Bechdel. Both revolve around a death. Alison Bechdel’s writing has sometimes been compared to David Sederis. I didn’t see it except that 1.) they both deal with autobiographical subject material 2.) they’re both gay. Is that really enough to always tie the two together. “Fun Home” reminded me more of Craig Thompson’s “Blankets.” I’d highly recommend both.
I’ve been watching the first season of Veronica Mars. What took me so long? I have a feeling that I’ll go through the DVDs for all three seasons too quickly. If you also have been remiss in watching it, go remedy that now. Why are you still reading this? Shoo and watch.
