   safe area gorazde, jimmy corrigan: the smartest kid on earth

   i liked “fun home” too.

   is there a huge difference between graphic novel & comic book? because here in nyc, the “graphic novel” section of bookstores is usually all anime & a copy of persepolis that someone forgot to put back into the autobiography section.

   thanks for the recommendations

   Yeah I totally love corrigan, will definitely check out the rest - thanks!

   I would say a graphic novel is basically an illustrated novel (EG is one story from beginning to end), where as a comic book can just be anything with comics in it, random stuff, single panels that sort of thing.

   I adore XKCD. The creator of that strip is the nephew of one of my professors. I wish that made me cooler. By association or something. Then again, it doesn’t seem to do much for my prof…

   Bugger! Every time I hit one of your recommendations for a closer look at the jacket I end up ditched in Amazon.

   Hmm, yeah this Amazon stuff is a but un-customizable. When I have time I am going to totally sort it out. Anyway, you can look at the jacket in Amazon.

    I wont talk about your comics, but your Ads. We all need more money,
    Am i wrong? Why don’t you place
    Ads by Google Adsense and get paid.
    Even better Audio Ad. You get paid for every visit to your page, no clicks needed.

    You did well with “recommend” but might need to take another crack at “irrelevant.”
