...Derf's skill as cartoonist and storyteller make "Trashed" and "My Friend Dahmer" two of the most entertaining autobiographical comix I have ever read. By far the more enjoyable read, "Trashed" rivals Charles Bukowski's novel, "Factotum" for minimum-wage comedy. "Dahmer," on the other hand, has its own sort of disgusting verisimilitude. It turns out that Jeffrey Dahmer once got paid to "act" spastic in a middle-American shopping mall, and did it for two hours to the utter obliviousness of the authorities. You couldn't make this stuff...
...Automator” Nakamura throbbed out on to the street. Inside, the crowd was as hip, diverse and giddy as the band’s eponymous debut album: slightly ostentatious, but mostly with a self-deprecating sense of humor.

Kidd, whose sweeping part of dark hair and wire-rim glasses give him the look of a teenage Devo fan, began by asking Art Spiegelman what it means to be a successful cartoonist. "It's a very mixed blessing," Spiegelman said. "I've felt this incredible weight ever since 'Maus' became a crossover hit because it puts all these eyeballs looking over you shoulders. ... The flip side of course is you have all these half-baked notions and somebody will...
Budnitz has always had a sharp wit. She drew cartoons for The Crimson and the Lampoon—“for a long time, I thought I wanted to be a political cartoonist,” she says—poking fun at everything from pompous professors to foul-tasting dining hall food. One 1993 drawing depicts a little girl sheepishly approaching a group of three schoolboys. “Can I play?” she asks. “Yes! No! Maybe!” they reply. “Come back next year...
