twenty-six/fifty-two

The next one was Lynda Barry's The! Greatest! Of! Marlys! I think I am in love with Lynda Barry, or at least her work. I liked One Hundred Demons a little tiny bit better, but I think that's just because I loved all the extra collage elements in that, as well as the autobiographical stuff.

This book is a collection of Marlys comic strips, loosely grouped according to subject. Marlys (the character) alternates between being intensely annoying and so kind it makes you want to cry. She and her world are interesting, and I definitely want to read more about them.
