The Onion
Is the floating ghost paraphrasing the onion’s new t-shirt (“When I die I’m going to haunt the fuck out of you people.”)? I love your artwork…
John D. Young
Your artwork rocks man. I recently read Pop Gun War because a friend of mine told me it was required reading for a course she nearly took at Portland State University. It is a phenomonal book and I thought you’d like to know that college professors think so. This is the info about the class. You can brag to everybody about being in the same reading list as a lot of really awesome books.
ENG 410 The Graphic Novel
Katya Amato
amatok@pdx.edu
Graphic novels are not just spandex any more. The medium has come of age, and there are great texts to choose from, texts to make you cry, texts to change your life. Along with Spiegelman’s classic Maus, winner of the 1992 Pulitzer, we will also read classic Gaiman, but the rest of the reading dates from more recent times, from 2000 to 2007, mostly coming-of-age and family stories because the medium really shines in that area. In addition, we will read Paul Auster’s City of Glass, adapted by two brilliant graphic artists, and compare it to the original novel. The class is new and experimental, perhaps too ambitious in terms of coverage, but there are so many wonderful recent graphic novels that winnowing the reading list to 21 means ignoring some very fine work. The assignments will be analytical and interpretive, involving close reading of both text and art, with an option for one assignment to be a graphic short story.
21 Texts:
Charles Burns, Black Hole
Lynda Barry, One! Hundred! Demons!
David B., Epileptic
Jeff Lemire, Tales from the Farm
Alison Bechdel, Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic
Chris Ware, Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth
Marjane Satrapi, Embroideries
Farel Dalrymple, Pop Gun War
Paul Auster, Paul Karasik, and David Mazzucchelli, City of Glass: The Graphic Novel
Art Spiegelman, Maus I and II
Neil Gaiman et al., The Sandman (Volumes 1 through 10)

I know as a comics writer that I would love to have my work looked at in this context so I thought I’d pass the news on to you. Keep up the good work, man.
farel. I love you.
or… since I don’t know you, i really love your art.
Re: The Onion

i like the onion.
sweet. that is radical. i’m supposed to go to that class next week.
Cool.
