![]() While the show is obviously overtly queer, these comics have elements of queerness and little gay details that don't appear in the show. I also like that the comics have a different queer flavor than the show. (I do like that she is somewhat in control of the narrative at times, talking directly to me, which gives her a lot of autonomy that this character doesn't always have in every adaptation.) In all these ways, Tee Franklin really does Harley right. That role in the relationship really suits her, I feel, without limiting her-because of course she has all of her omnipotent, violent, potty mouth glory happening too. She feels close to the show but also has a different sort of innocence about her because she's so in love with Ivy-there are lots of places where she's just sort of gazing at Ivy and wondering what she'll do next. ![]() I also really enjoyed Harley's voice in this series. ![]() I'm really happy to have found Max Sarin. I'm thinking in particular of all the times Ivy and Harley are holding one another, and how they change positions incrementally between panels. While reading, I did so much staring and admiring at these illustrations, and there was so much commitment and consistency frame to frame. ![]() They're actually the reason I found, and was drawn to, the comic-I was looking up fan art and saw Max Sarin's gorgeous, gorgeous drawings, and I stalked them to the source. For one thing, the drawings are just stupidly beautiful, fluid, and expressive and they do something that the show cannot with its animation. ![]() ![]() ![]() You can track your delivery by going to AusPost tracking and entering your tracking number - your Order Shipped email will contain this information for each parcel.

Stylized cartoon illustrations convey the town's benign facade while revealing tension through Ron's expressions of determination mixed with fear.

The acknowledgement of the importance of such data came with the map that Snow draw of the location of the houses, where death occurred. ![]() All these data was related to the statistics of deaths and infection, contrary to other researchers who relied solely on statistics. Such information included the preferences for the water source, washing habits, drinking habits, geographic patterns, relatives’ address, etc. Such social context, which combined with the local knowledge brought by Henry Whitehead, another main character in the story, allowed Snow to indentify the chain of infection, traced back to the source. ![]() It can be stated that the differences between the data collected by Snow and Whitehead, and other researchers are in their social context. ![]() ![]() The attempts of various characters to overcome this sense of meaninglessness and build satisfactory lives through art, altruism, and love, is the defining triumph of the novel.

Someone sent me the message below after seeing a clip of The Bad Seeds performing Distant Sky in Copenhagen that I posted. I was kinda bored and its about a million degrees in my room.
