9:22p - What is with comics, and their frenetic use of emphasis? Let's find out!
( Reading for March )
I am so sad, Eternal Sabbath #4 arrived on Saturday, but #3, which I ordered at the same time, has yet to come. Alas, because I am really liking that series.
Months are long. And yet I have finished one book in the last ten days? What have I been doing with myself! Probably thinking about rocks. Or writing poetry about rocks. Or poetry about poetry...
I also wrote a letter! There was an article in the NZ Book Council magazine about italics. And, oh fool, the author thought she would talk about the mysterious multitude of italicised words to be found in comic books. The article was 'Slanted and Enchanted', by Ashleigh Young. I wrote this explanation because she stated she couldn't find a reason for the prevalence of these 'italics'. Well, you're not going to get far with the wrong word.
( All about bold lettering! )
