How will this impact tomorrow’s election? For more, we speak with Victoria Law, freelance journalist and author of the recent article, “Disenfranchised by Misinformation: Many Americans Are Allowed to Vote But Don’t Know It.” We also speak with Malissa Gamble, founder of The Time is Now to Make a Change, a support center for formerly incarcerated women in Philadelphia. Meanwhile, in Vermont and Maine, prisoners can vote from jail. Florida has the highest number of disenfranchised voters-where nearly one in four black adults is disenfranchised. African Americans have been disproportionately impacted by the laws. Three-quarters of those now prevented from voting have been released from prison and are living in their communities either under probation, on parole or having completed their sentences. Across the nation, almost 6 million people are prohibited from voting as a result of state felony disenfranchisement laws.

Written by the iconic Stan Lee, How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way is a must-have book for Marvel fans and anyone looking to draw their first comic strip. According to one source, the Wimpy Kid series is a $550 million empire. One could also say The Mutts Diaries is a collection of comic strip reprints awkwardly shoved into a format that exploits the enormous popularity of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, made by another publisher. The mid-sized, cheaply priced trade paperback is, as the accompanying press release informs us, “a collection tailored for middle-grade readers.” The strip, written and drawn by a cartoonist who co-wrote a deeply admiring biography of George Herriman ( Krazy Kat: The Comic Art of George Herriman, 1986), has functioned both as a daily treat and as a deconstructed, minimalist heir to Herriman and Krazy Kat.Įven though Patrick McDonnell's Mutts comic strip is sublimely designed to work on multiple levels, it comes perilously close to losing its charms in the dumb, exploitative packaging employed in The Mutts Diaries, a collection that Andrews McMeel Publishing has created to launch its AMP! Comics for Kids imprint (what amperage or amplifiers has to do with comics, I’m sure someone will let me know). Mutts, Patrick McDonnell’s sweet, smart comic strip has joyfully chased its tail across the funny page sections of newspapers and book collections for the last two decades. Dear Diary - Today I saw a book of fine, gentle, and artful comics so stupidly packaged that it stands as a profoundly sad example of exploitation. The cover is likely similar to the Twilight Graphic Novel parts 1 and 2 cover in that the cover arts link up. In the first volume, Bella and Edward find themselves facing new obstacles, including a devastating separation, the mysterious appearance of dangerous wolves roaming the forest in Forks, a terrifying threat of revenge from a female vampire, and a deliciously sinister encounter with Italy’s reigning royal family of vampires: the Volturi. The first installment of the New Moon graphic novel-based on the story by Stephenie Meyer with art by Young Kim-will be available on April 30. If you’re a Twilight fan, you’ve probably experienced New Moon in more than one form already, but now you have another. Well, it’s out April 30th and EW has the first look. At first it was a hardback, then it was a paperback that met with huge fan outcry and sales cancellations, then it went back to hardback after a delay. The publication of this product was interesting. See all books authored by Stephenie Meyer, including Twilight, and New Moon, and more on. Their feelings of anger, sadness and happiness are all so familiar - I could easily be any one of them. I empathize with these four fictional girls so much. Everything happening to you is monumental and minuscule at the same time. They’re whiny and incredibly frustrating at times, and I’m not trying to feed into the idea that teenage girls are inherently annoying and boy-crazy - I was once a teenage girl. Rereading the books made me realize just how wholly imperfect the girls are, which makes me love them even more. The girls navigate friendship, family, first love and teenage heartbreak throughout the course of high school and college. The franchise follows four best friends - Bridget Vreeland, Tibby Rollins, Carmen Lowell and Lena Kaligaris - as they embark on multiple summers apart with the help of a pair of jeans that magically fit them all, despite them being different sizes. With Ann Brashares’ four books, two films (and a couple of follow– ups we won’t be talking about), “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” has cemented itself in the pop culture hall of fame and my heart. I’d put They Do It with Mirrors in the latter category-it’s clever, of course, but not knock-your-socks-off clever. Some of the solutions she presents are so memorable that I can remember exactly whodunit and why, even years later. What could be less cutting-edge than Agatha Christie’s 65-year-old war horse? Nevertheless, this theatrical comfort food proved as popular in Berkeley, California, as it has been in London’s West End, where “The Mousetrap” has run continuously since 1952 it sold out every performance, and if the theater didn’t have a new production scheduled for early February, I have no doubt that it could have continued packing ’em in for weeks to come.Ĭhristie’s books still attract millions of readers who love her breezy writing style and ingenious mysteries. A local theater known for presenting edgy, adventurous plays surprised many of its fans by opening “The Mousetrap” late last year. Upon reflection, the most triumphant aspect in this book was the woman found in the basement, Vicky, and the astonishing way in which the author slowly reveals her story. As with her first book, Close to Home, she establishes both tension and character building in just the right doses and I was once again stunned at the twists and unexpected discoveries as the plot developed in ways I did not imagine were possible. It is not often that a sequel is just as good as the first book in the series but in this case, Cara Hunter has really succeeded in producing yet another suspenseful and highly gripping read. How could this happen right under their noses? But DI Adam Fawley knows that nothing is impossible.Īnd that no one is as innocent as they seem …” The inhabitants of the quiet Oxford street are in shock. The elderly man who owns the house claims he has never seen them before.
