Musings about some of my favorite fantasy literature for young readers, comics old and new, the peculiar publishing industry, the future of books, kids today, and the writing process.
From preteen reviewer Milo Kotis’s write-up of Gilbert Hernandez’s Marble Season at The Graphic Novelologist:
I remember another thing from when I went to see Gilbert Hernandez's talk, he said that in the 60's, parents were only there to spoil your fun. He also said that old ladies with horn rimmed glasses ran the show. As I'm sure you know, it's quite different now.Good to have that confirmed.

We still run the show. (We're good at hiding that.) Just relax, everything will be taken care of.
