Sunday’s Fun Day, Charlie Brown

As a kid, there was not much in book collections when it came to comics. What kids got were Mad Magazine and Peanuts paperbacks. Throughout the years, I amassed a very large collection of Charlie Brown paperbacks. Sunday's Fun Day, Charlie Brown is a great reprint of the original book printed in 1965. The 12th in the series collects Sunday strips from 1962-1965. This was at the height of Charles M. Schulz's rendition of the classic characters. Some significant events happened in those three years, one major one is that Snoopy was finally revealed to be a beagle.

The Long Take by Robin Robertson

Better late than never. Here is a little gem that flew under my radar. I am enamored with narrative poetry. The Long Take by Robin Robertson harks to works such as Joseph Moncure March’s The Set-Up and The Wild Party. I discovered The Long Take through the library app, Libby. I plan to buy a hardcopy version of the book. Being a Film Noir enthusiast, this is a great find. Narrative poetry is a niche market, when you find a good one, you cannot put it down.

Taiwanese Lecturer Draws Amazing Anatomical Drawings on Chalkboard

Chuan-Bin Chung is an art lecturer at the Shu-Te University of Taiwan giving Anatomy of Arts and Painting Skill classes. If only some teachers in North America were as dedicated as him, they would aspire the youngsters to bigger things. Lead by example. I am truly impressed by his dedication or perhaps his school does not have a budget for an interactive projector.
