Just finished the brutally depressing House Rules from Heather Lewis. Need something light and whimsical to pick up my spirits. Let's hope Mr. Dazai can provide some chuckles.

I decided to re-read the first "novel" I can remember reading, Matthew Looney and the Space Pirates. Of course, I had tons of picture books like Dr Suess or Curious George, but this was the first way-more-words-than-pictures book. I was also attracted to the Gahan Wilson artwork!

I picked this up in Japan on my last trip.
It's called "Doctor Monster! Shoji Otomo's Best Works".
Shoji Otomo was an editor of several Shonen Magazines during the Kaiju boom of the 1960s, and pioneered the "Cutaway view" of science fiction monsters, and machinery that is still popular today. (See any of Dorling Kindersley's Star Wars Cross Section books).Looking for Green Arrow accessories, Doctor Who Sonic Screwdriver, and Japanese Popy Megos (Battle Cossack and France, Battle of the Planets, Kamen Rider, Ultraman) and World Heroes figuresComment

I had the essential volume. Not an traditional superhero comic but if you view it as an independent book and just go for the ride.

BIFF: Quick Responses to High-Conflict People, Their Personal Attacks, Hostile Email and Social Media Meltdowns
I recently picked up this book and wish it was mandatory reading. It deals with internet conflict and the best paths to deal with it. It involves not changing anybody's mind but yours about dealing with hostile, blame-seeking people who project their mismanaged emotions at you. I've cringed reading this several times and liken it to the type of verbal judo you can practice. Excellent read and I'm only on Chapter 3.Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions
