A blank-eyed, silent meditation on young love thwarted and re-kindled. If we can have graphic novels, we can surely have graphic novellas, and this latest book from the acclaimed Norwegian cartoonist Jason is a prime example of a tight, self-contained volume that tells one complete, satisfying story in a compact 48 pages. Tell Me Something picks up the stylized anthropomorphic characters of Jason's earlier works (Hey, Wait and The Iron Wagon), as well as the challenge of all-pantomime (or almost) comics of Sshhhh! to weave a yarn of young love thwarted and re-kindled. Switching smoothly between two time periods, alternating moments of tenderness and sadness with slapstick and irony, Tell Me Something is a virtuoso technical achievement as well as a funny and sad tale of romance and treachery. New readers will find themselves astonished at how deeply they come to identify with Jason's stylized, blank-eyed menagerie of characters, while those who shed a
Editorial : From Booklist Jason draws figures as long, lean, and nearly expressionless as the stereotypes of Scandinavians would have them be. To magnify the characters' psychological opacity, they have dogs' and birds' heads. Jason renders their stories near-wordlessly, in rigorously square frames, almost always from a perpendicular perspective (no oblique angles for him), and in black and white, sparingly complemented, if at all, by subdued colors.

The narrative flashes forward and backward; the forward panels are set against a white surround, the backward against a black one. But that simple device--white equals now, black equals the past--is about the only interpretive aid Jason provides. One must really see each panel to get what's going on and grasp nuances. Some may lack the patience and concentration the book demands, but those who
The characters were interesting and it was amazing to see a turtle survive when he had been living as a pet and travels with an alligator. Turns out the evil was where they least expected it. Mr. Happily, they project a sense of wonder and wholesomeness that’s infectious and leaves the reader with a pleasant aftertaste.
I wholeheartedly recommend this book if you’re looking for a fun story featuring healthy relationships, modest hijinks, and a touch of magic. And he was obviously the person who turned Batman around and had him become what he is today.
The book is a very quick read and I enjoyed it throughly. It's easy to do and makes so much sense but goes against all the diet fads we're spoon fed by society.. Telemann lived to be 86, and his music reflects the Baroque aesthetic and complexity interspersed by the Classical ideas of homophony. This is a great story about a close friend of mine from High School. Like many short line railroads, money was
