Not even Tintin (I have all of them in French) - perhaps I could recommend <i>Le Lotus Bleu</i>?

I don't see how Arlene F. came up with his identity, however, but I recall that show, not that early perhaps and there were times when you said, "Yeah, right!" when someone named the guest without sufficient information. <br /><br />I have not been able to stay with a graphic novel. Perhaps I haven't found the right one but then I was never a fan of comic books.<br /><br /><br />word verif. - subookerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-55165130282911996812011-10-01T14:57:06.826+01:002011-10-01T14:57:06.826+01:00I'm stunned to hear you have never read a grap...I'm stunned to hear you have never read a graphic novel! Could I perhaps recommend Maus, Persepolis, Watchmen, Blankets (and many others). For one that (so far) has not been turned into a book, and comes with your favourite embellishment (extensive footnotes) let me refer you to the wonderful Sydney Padua and <a href="http://sydneypadua.com/2dgoggles/" rel="nofollow">2D goggles</a>.Dark Pusshttp://morganas-cat.tumblr.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-25445488338179087722011-10-01T12:57:09.362+01:002011-10-01T12:57:09.362+01:00Oh I loved that clip!
