First volume cover Two posts in one day! Who'd a thunk it. WELLLLLLLLL I realized I set out to make this blog not completely food related, so let me tell you about one of my comic book obsessions: Fables by Bill Willingham.
**Warning may contain vague spoilers**I find it only fitting seeing that my first comic book class is TOMORROW!
Fables is one of my favorite series. It's a long ongoing story, with twists and turns, lovable characters, and yes, MAGIC! It's about our lovable (and not so lovable) fairy tale/folk lore characters living in our world. New York to be exact. They come over to our world after being run out of their own. The story chronicles characters such as the Big Bad Wolf, Snow White, King Cole, Pinocchio, Boy Blue, and so many more. Because I'm not a writer or a critic let me share with you a broad blurp from Vertigo's cite, giving you a quick overview of the series:
"Fables chronicles the world’s most beloved fairy tale characters hiding out in a magically hidden neighborhood within Manhattan. Run out of their happily-ever-after homeworlds by a mighty conqueror known only as The Adversary, these universally recognized princes, princesses, talking animals, heroes, and villains now face a new challenge: adapting to a modern world filled with sex, violence, and lots of moral ambiguity."
I own 15 of the bound volumes and I'm not even caught up yet. There are a few spin-offs including JACK OF FABLES! He is Jack the nimble, Jack frost, Jack the giant killer, and many other Jacks you've heard of. He gets himself into trouble everywhere he goes, and although he may be obnoxious in person, he is one of the most fun characters to read about. SO I AM! I just finished with his escapades in in Las Vegas where he runs into Lady Luck and learns first hand how the city can bring you up and then crashing right back down. I've started the next installment called "The Bad Prince" and so far all I know is that he has some dealings with Excalibur and some chest pains. ;) This story is a saga and can't even be put into words how much I love it! So be sure to check it out from your local comic book store. (That's Star Clipper for me!)
Okay so there you have it a peek at what I'm reading.
Some of the new baking photos are up!
And don't forget to check out the grapefruit vinaigrette!
