review 1: Lynda Barry! She writes funnier multiple-choice comics than Roz Chast. I probably shouldn't've read this all at once, but I had nothing else to do and some time to kill. So I read it all at once. It made me wish I'd been older in the 80s, and I was charmed to see Canadian hot dogs make an appearance--just like in Marc Bell's comics! Now I know that the use of the Canadian jumbo as a character/symbol in comics is a sign of a Good Thing.
review 2: I can't be objective about Lynda Barry - I just think she is one of the very finest cartoonists ever. Reading BLABBER BLABBER BLABBER was a joyful experience. And it was quite interesting, after reading her two previous "how to be creative" books, to see how evident her thematic preoccupations have been from the ear... moreliest days of her career. She mines her early and inner lives not for autobiography, but for *verisimilitude* - her work feels solid, feels "real," in ways that are poetic and crystalline. Cannot recommend her work highly enough! less
