If you don't know about Alison Bechdel's book, you should really check it out. It's one of the best graphic novels ever. Maybe you won't get as much of a kick out of this picture of the Ortiz Funeral Home I took in Brooklyn:
Were the lights on the facade really out like that or did you alter the image at all? I love Fun Home. The dad in Fun Home has a lot of eerie similarities to my dad, to the point that if I found out he was also having sex with teenage boys it would not surprise me.
Yep, it was really like that! I wish I had a digital camera rather than a camera-phone because I think it would be more clear. It does look super-digital and you can't really read it.
Wow, Liz! It's amazing how universal her story was while being so specific. I feel like there's so much backlash toward that book being successful. It's really sad because it's really incredible and I haven't felt as emotionally tied to a comic since Chris Ware's Jimmy Corrigan, which also gets a huge amount of backlash.
