The Normal Life by John Shaver

My old chum John Shaver is doing a really great job creating a graphic memoir of his early years called THE NORMAL LIFE. What I like about it is that he's giving the impression that his early years are being colored with crayons.

And I really like the look it gives the piece. i also really like the fact that he's drawn... out the speech balloons but lettered the words out. It definitely gives it that look of being taken from a child's notebook!!

This installment of deals with something I'm sure most of us have had to deal with in our lives. Bullies.

John's a great guy and a lot of the stuff that has happened to him translates really well in this format.

Just wait till he gets to Jr. High/High School years ;-)
