Late Bloomer collects Tyler's published and unpublished works from the last 20 years, all of which share a theme uncommon to comix: domesticity. Thankfully these non-fiction vignettes do not constitute moments of adorable "wisdom" from the mouths of babes, or triumphs of motherly multitasking. Rather, the focus stays on the darker side of child rearing and family difficulties, told in the blunt and funny style of the family big mouth. One page, titled "Anatomy of a New Mom" sums up the book's appeal: A mock medical diagram of a baggy-eyed woman nursing a "totally oblivious...
...good person in every sense,” said Steven Ettinger, a Boston University junior and one of Lawrence’s close friends. “He always talked a lot more to people and concentrated on them rather than talking about himself.

"The employment coordinators are our lifeblood," says Estens. "They're our strongest and weakest link." Finding people with the necessary experience is difficult; the pressure to perform is high, as is the turnover; and the best ones always seem to end up with...
...Adomanis rightly states, “[A] lessening of France’s now-infamous racism would probably do a lot to help,” but this sentence unfortunately follows his praise of Le Pen’s “wisdom.” No one has contributed more to the spread of racism in France than Jean-Marie Le Pen during his long political career. To describe Le Pen as a “tactless and sometimes foolish old man” would strike the majority of French citizens—of all possible heritages, backgrounds, faiths...
