Renee: Thanks! I’ve been reading comic strips as far back as I can remember (Calvin and Hobbes mostly, some Far Side too), along with Uncle Scrooge and assorted other comics, from back when convenience stores actually carried comics…I didn’t start reading “graphic novels” or other “serious” comics until just a few years ago. And alt/underground comix is very new to me. I’ve known about Crumb and co. for a long time, but never actually read any of the comics from that scene until recently.

I’ve read portions of Bone.

If I may ask, how old were you when you started reading comics?

It was weird when Bartleby left not knowing how to talk yet when he returned he was quite verbose. Also the expectation of mine that Phoney Bone would eventually wind up good and time after time didn’t was in some way better then any character development in his regard.

Also keep it, it’s too big for me to lug around.
