Frederick loved creating new orders and decorations for Prussia. He saw that people would workk themselves just as silly for a piece of special ribbon as they would for a hundred acres of hereditary land and, figuring that Prussia had more ribbon than land…
On Wednesday I got to meet Ryan Claytor of And Then One Day fame while he was at my beloved Treasure Island Comics signing his books. I had not up until then gotten a chance to read any of these, but I heartily recommend the first book as something entirely Different. It’s like somebody took the book of a man’s life, ripped it up, threw it into the air, and then drew whatever random bits of paragraphs happened to fall into his hands… flashes of existence often without beginning or end … things you wouldn’t notice if they weren’t singled out in this way. Like I said… a different sort of comic experience, and one I enjoyed very much treating myself to.
In the meantime, Happy Six-Month-Erversary to us!
