...surprising, as Kuper has one of the most unique styles of any cartoonist. He cuts out stencils and then spray-paints the images onto the surface, giving the work a splattery, fuzzy tone. But even the graphics, mostly rendered in a palette of grays with brief bursts of color, has an unappealing drabness to it. Kids will almost certainly find it dreary. "Sticks and Stones" means well, but manages to find an imperfect middle ground between art and politics...

Another feature on the horizon is a Windows-like interface for moving money from one account to another or paying bills...
...West Randolph's hip eateries, such as the Blue Point Oyster bar (an upscale diner that claims the city's freshest oysters), Sushi Wabi (if you like artful fish and don't mind tight spaces) or Marché (a latter-day French Surrealist bistro). Want quick takeout with local color? Grab an Italian beef sandwich at Mr. Beef's on Orleans. The hard core order it "wet," with the roll soaked in gravy...
