  1. Daryl & Glenn … nice work!

  2. Actually, what Steve Duin says is,

    “…we need to give the marketing staff at Fantagraphics a drug test for suggesting You’ll Never Know “instantly takes its place alongside Maus, Persepolis and Fun Home as a classic of the graphic memoir genre.” “

  3. wow Alan, that quote was taken totally out of context and contradictory to the actual review:

    “But I do know this: For all its charms, You’ll Never Know does not belong on the same shelf with Fun Home, Maus or the other classics of the genre, and — given the weight of expectation — it is unfairly maligned by the comparison.”

    Still looks worth picking up, hope the library gets it soon

  4. haha – that’s the ol’ movie review trick where you just take a snippet of the review to give it a good spin. Nice, Alan!

  5. Love Glenn McCoy’s work, even though I rarely agree w/ his politics. He writes funny and draws funny, a combination that seems to be becoming more rare.

  6. Bravo Glenn McCoy — great work!

  7. Great stuff, Glenn! Thanks Daryl for video of your panel.
