...different goal. Henry, the author's surrogate, wants to study art, giving the story a personal verisimilitude that makes "Four Immigrants" not only the first graphic novel, but the first autobiographical graphic novel as well. But the two characters who quickly take the book's center are the ne'er-do-well Charlie and Frank, the budding capitalist. Continually rebuffed in their efforts to earn money, Charlie, the tall, lanky one who spouts aphorisms, and Frank, the short, chubby one, look and act like the Mutt and Jeff of Japan. Unlike Mutt and Jeff, however, Charlie and Fred's difficulties...
Despite his success and newfound facebook fame, Haut says his glory days are over: “I see about 1,100 facebook group leavings in my future.” When this magazine went to press, his profile had slimmed down significantly.

Hall types who occasionally play a little classical music in the ayem versus those guys who lived across the hall from...
...show also wrings awkward humor out of the small humiliations of actor life, as when Bryan does an ER episode and forgets cast member Deezer D's name. ("You probably thought I was Mekhi Phifer," says the peeved African-American actor.) Best is the relationship between Krista and her son Jake (Allen's adorable real son Jake Moritt, 7, the show's breakout), who gets cast in a movie Krista tries out for. Soon she's going to kiddie auditions--at one a show-biz mom advises her to get his ears surgically tucked--and finding her answering machine filled...
