PEEK-A-POOK
Lynda Barry emerges for a round of applause
Cartoonist and former Voice contributor Lynda Barry asks many questions in her new book, What It Is, like “What is the past?” and “Where is a story before it becomes words?” In the scrapbook/journal/workbook, Barry answers these questions by recalling her troubled childhood, making it something like a prequel to her most popular work, Ernie Pook’s Comeek, the 30-year comic strip responsible for her cult following and several books, including The Good Times Are Killing Me (adapted into an Off-Broadway musical), Cruddy, and One! Hundred! Demons! Now living a semi-reclusive life on a farm in Wisconsin, Barry is being dragged back into the spotlight with the publication of the new book. So go see the creator of Marlys before she disappears again!
