In 1895, Mark Twain wrote, "[Literary art requires that] the personages in a tale shall be alive, except in the case of corpses, and that always the reader shall be able to tell the corpses from the others." Should politicians be held to the same standard?

In some nearby (central Wisconsin) libraries, they put food (canned and bagged) on shelves near the door so that anyone who needs it can just come and take what is needed.
In Finland, libraries lend out tools, sewing machines, musical instruments, and even sports equipment, not just books, so everyone has access to things they might not be able to afford

You can hear the interview online: npr.org/2024/09/21/nx-s1-494…
Jules Feiffer’s AMAZING GRAPES is a new graphic novel, and NPR’s Scott Simon interviewed him September 21. Did you know that the gifted Feiffer worked with Will Eisner in the 1940s? Devoted comic art fans, please note. (I just ordered a copy.)

“The Golden Age of Comics is Twelve,” Chris Roberson (2021): “I’d always known that the phrase was a play on an ... aphorism about ‘the golden age of science fiction,’ ...the quote is ... attributed to a fan in the 1960s, Peter Graham, possibly in the pages of the fanzine VOID.”
It was for me. As a kid I used to raid the library every week for books by Clarke, Asimov, Bradbury, Heinlein, Simak and others.
As someone once noted, "The golden age of Science Fiction is twelve."

And here we go…
New term, brand new course, brand new drawn syllabus!!

ALT A drawn syllabus for a class on comics - relating students to campus and to themselves. The centerpiece of the drawing is a pair of hands holding an open comic - four famous memoir cartoonist are depicting in their styles walking through the comic Ala the Beatles’ abbey road. Other scenes in this comic all come from sfsu campus. Information about the course - what we’ll do, assessment, health protocols and such are all drawn around the center image. It’s rather dense - but I quite like this one
