Set to Sea pg. 87

May Inventory:
Read: Swift’s A Tale of a Tub, Clowes’ Wilson, Tatsumi’s Black Blizzard, about 1/12th of Boswell’s Life of Johnson.
Watched: projected on a sheet in a friend’s backyard: Real Genius, Back to the Future. At the local artehaus: The Secret of Kells, that Babies movie.
Eaten: A lot of Indian dal-type dishes. Two or three outdoor potlucks.
Drunk: Some homebrews at the homebrew club meeting, a whole lotta Yuengling.
I didn’t know that Black Blizzard was already out! How is it? Drifting Life was epic.
Black Blizzard is pretty interesting, in the knowledge that he wrote and drew the whole thing in 20 days. Some of it is really gorgeous, like the atmospheric snow scenes. Some of it really shows the deadline stress (the girl character is especially under-realized). The story is mostly silly, but the mood is nicely rendered.
