Happy Friday
From a press release today on Newsarama:
!!!!
*****
Recently read Coffee and Donuts: A Junkyard Cats Comic by Max Estes.
This is a nice reminder of what all ages comics can be; simple stories with characters you can read yourself into, charmingly dangerous bad guys, and a strong moral center that neither preaches nor overwhelms but simply offers us all a chance to feel good. It's the kind of thing that, when you're done reading it, makes you want to just go out and start being nice to people.
As for the story itself, it follows a pair of down-on-their-luck alley cats who decide one day to try robbing an armored truck. Two problems with this: first, they aren't criminals and have no idea what they're doing. Second, some real criminals were already planning the heist, and these amateurs have messed up their scheme. How will these crazy kids get out of this mess they've made?
Don't have a lot more to say about it, but that shouldn't reflect poorly on the book. It's just a simple, clean experience. I'm gonna try giving this to one of my young cousins and see if there's any response. It's in black-and-white, which throws up a little bit of a barrier, but *I* read some B&W stuff when I was a kid, so what the hell? Worth a shot!
(FYI: Comicon PULSE interviewed creator Max Estes here, including some discussion of his first book and his upcoming work.)

I am an African American woman with naturally kinky/coarse hair. I decided to stop using
relaxers over a year ago, furthermore straightening my hair became a difficult task. I could never seem to get the results I was looking for out of a flat iron without going to a professional hair salon and
spending $65.00 a visit. I previously used FHI ceramic flat irons which straightened my hair and then left it frizzy again within the next hour. A hairstylist friend of mines suggested the Babyliss Pro
Titanium irons. I purchased them from Amazon for $70 bucks and received them in about 5 days. "A miracle!!" I can't live without them now. My hair goes from frizzy/kinky to silky/straight/shiny in the blink
of an eye. The best part is that it "STAYS" silky and straight until the next time I need to wash and straighten. No gimmic here. I highly recommend them over chi and fhi.

The Toronto real estate agent suitably guides you right from the beginning.
Indications are growing that investors will bring a rebirth of interest in property this spring.
Simple definition: Buying property and reselling quickly,
hopefully for a great profit.
