My First Time

So I just bought my first graphic novel. The supernatural geek girl blogger forces came down from the sky and forced me onto Amazon to order it for a buck fifty, and now the transformation is complete.

I’m a cheap, comic book-reading, bespectacled, weakling nerd. (Next, Linux.) Somebody congratulate me.

    Who’s your favorite character on Firefly?

    I’d say something like “Boner-riffic!” or “Magically babe-licious” except that I’m not a total pig. Or something.

    THat looks really good. My first Graphic Novel was MAUS. I also read a good one about a girl growing up in Iran. It was totally G*R*E*AT*!

    Do you like Star Trek?

    HA HA HA HA HA

    Just kidding, of COURSE you do!

    And of course, don’t forget that you get to do newer and odder things with punctuation, such as the words SuSE and YaST.

    Yes, those are real words now in this day and age….

    Strangely, I’m considering getting Divalicious… and I’m also not much of a graphic novel person. Maybe it’s some kind of strange spring pollen in the air?

    Now you need the Love and Rockets series, by Los Bros Hernandez.

    Let me know if you want any further GN recommendations, Lauren! It’s among the things I do. :)

    Sure, they start you off easy. Soon, you’ll be hanging around the comic shop waiting for your reserve bag, burning through sixteen books a week — the hardcore superhero stuff. Pulp paper. You say it will never happen to you …

    They all say that.

    Persepolis is the autobiographical graphic novel of the gal growing up in Iran.
    My favorite would have to be Blankets, the story of a boy growing up and surviving adolescence in a fundamental Christian family.

    I am T*O*T*A*L*L*Y buying “Blankets” tomorrow! THat sounds KickAss!

    Fun Home is a really amazing graphic novel - written by Alison Bechdel who does Dykes to Watch Out for.
