...looks more like Tintin than the X-Men. Called "bandes dessinées," or the "clear line" style, he uses big, simple outlines with a minimum of chiaroscuro shading -- perfect for a bright, outdoorsy story. Rabagliati has a wonderful knack for caricature. Paul, for example, is distinguished mostly by thick brush strokes over each dot of an eye, and three vertical lines of "scruff" on his chin. "Clear Line" is nothing if not the most easy-to-read kind of cartooning in the world. Rabagliati lays out the pages with simple blocks that vary enough in size and shape...
...warming globe can screw things up, according to scientists such as Robert Gagosian, president and director of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts. The melting of glaciers and increased precipitation in the north has poured fresh water into the Atlantic, in some places leaving a ten foot thick layer on the ocean surface, according to Terence Joyce, also of Woods Hole. As the lighter fresh water slows the sinking of the Gulf Stream as it hits these northern latitudes it reduces the pull that brings warm water northward. Scientists estimate that the speed of the conveyor...
...supplies for Art Night are all Lamb’s own, left over from an art class he teaches each summer in Vermont. In fact, the materials he uses give clues to his pre-Harvard life: one type of paper he uses for lamps is a thick Japanese rice paper, a token of the months he spent at an Japanese monastery; the tea that he offers his Art Night visitors is a reminder of his five years in England, where he attended Summerhill school, one of the most well-known non-traditional boarding schools in the world. But other aspects...
...restaurant itself has a traditional indoor seating area in addition to the deck, which stays open year-round, thanks to space heaters and double-thick plastic insulation. Even in the still-brisk weather, the deck brings forth memories of summer nights, with its rustic marine-themed décor, complete with mini lobster-traps lit with Christmas lights dangling from the ceiling. The oversized, well-worn picnic tables are set with large plastic buckets filled with plastic utensils and large black rocks. The rocks, General Manager Joy Tarr explains, are for cracking the shells of the crabs and lobsters...
Their award-winning clam chowder is uniquely seasoned, with a deliciously thick consistency. The seafood is fresh and, for them most part, simply prepared. Instead of layering on the spices and gimmicks, the Barking Crab rely on quality ingredients and thoughtful preparation. Even the more inventive offerings, such as the baked stuffed salmon, feature only minimal fussing. The salmon was filled with juicy crabmeat, then cooked to a perfectly tender consistency and served atop a fresh mesclun greens. The crab cakes, one of the restaurant’s most popular dishes, eschewed fancy seasonings in favor of tons of fresh...
