I spent the morning scanning Lynda Barry cartoons as examples of parallel and tangential relationships between pictures and words in comics.  And, in the process, I reminded myself just how incredible Barry is, and just how irresistible her characters are.

She has a tumblr, which seems largely focused on a class she’s teaching: thenearsightedmonkey.tumblr.com/

and an etsy shop, which is sadly empty at the moment: www.etsy.com/shop/LyndaBarryArt

So, she’s not a quick Google search away. You’ll have to pick up a book. But do it. She’s the best.
