	Station Information - Lynda Barry
		Lynda Barry is one of the most successful non-mainstream American cartoonists around, perhaps best known for her weekly comic "Ernie Pook's Comeek." She is a red-haired half-Philippina.
		Her comics do not strive to depict beauty demonstrate artistic virtuosity -- in that sense being similar to her peers Matt Groening (like her, a graduate of Evergreen State College in Olympia, WA), Lloyd Dangle, and Mark Alan Stamaty -- but for all their grubbiness are extremely expressive and evocative.
		Barry's relatively recent books include "The Good Times are Killing Me" (also a musical play that appeared off-Broadway), "The Best of Marlys," "The Freddy Stories," "Cruddy: An Illustrated Novel," and "One Hundred Demons" -- the name of her current series published in venues such as Salon.com.

	Salon Books \| "Cruddy" by Lynda Barry (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Barry's latest book, the richly illustrated novel "Cruddy," is as wrenching as Dorothy Allison's "Bastard Out of Carolina," but funnier.
		Barry characterizes children as both the most vulnerable and the most resilient creatures on earth.
		Barry is an expert in the too-often neglected vernacular of working-class childhood in urban America, and Roberta, with her haunting and often jubilant voice, is a typical Barry kid, screwed by circumstance but still searching for integrity.

	CNN - Salon interview: Barefoot on the Shag - May 21, 1999
		Fan Web pages devoted to Barry celebrate her in voices similar to her own unaffected prose: "This page is dedicated to Lynda Barry, genius of the comic world"; "A lot of people say [her work is] 'too busy' and 'weird' or 'ugly,' but THEY ARE WRONG!
		Less devoted admirers may not know that, in 1988, Barry also wrote a piercingly honest illustrated novel, "The Good Times Are Killing Me," in which protagonist Edna Arkins loses her best friend Bonna to the racial tensions at their junior high.
		The interview began with an exchanges of faxes (Barry worries that in voice interviews she tries too hard to "make the interviewer laugh"), but was finished up during a late-night phone call.

	read yourself RAW - Profile: Lynda Barry
		Lynda Barry (1956-) was raised with her two younger brothers in a working class and racially mixed Seattle neighborhood and was known as the class cartoonist at school.
		"Lynda Barry's flawed and chunky language, and corresponding unsmooth drawing style have, in the opinion of many reviewers lifted her right out of the realm of comics and dropped her square into the lap of literature...
		Barry is a genius, there is no getting around it, and her dear darling sweetheart character Marlys is the perfect vehicle for the underlying 'the world is so dang groovy sometimes it breaks your heart' message."

	Comic creator: Lynda Jean Barry (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Lynda Jean Barry belongs to the tradition of James Thurber and Jules Feiffer: skilled humorists for whom comics is just one of several media suited to their talents.
		Barry, along with close friend Matt Groening, stood at the forefront of the least talked-about aspect of the 1980s comics renaissance: the rise of the alternative newspaper strip.
		Barry's comic 'Ernie Pook's Comeek' is most remarkable because of its voice: lonely, unremarkable children struggling with everything that is awful and overwhelming about the world.

		Barry came to fame as a cartoonist, and though the humor in her strip Ernie Pook's Comeek is dark, nothing in it could prepare her fans for the sheer horror of Cruddy.
		Barry, whose recent graphic novel, The Freddie Stories, took as its subject the dysfunctional family from her newspaper cartoon strip, now takes us into the head of an indomitable 16-year-old.

	One Hundred Demons (Alex Awards (Awards)) : Lynda Barry (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Among the many pleasures of the book--Barry's extremely simple yet enormously evocative illustrations, the awesome ear she has for the way children speak to each other, the cheerful colors belying much of the sadness inherent in her work--is the section entitled "Magic." This regards Barry's rejection, at age thirteen, of her two-years-younger best friend.
		She so deftly sketches the psyche of her thirteen-year old self that we are left alternating between complete understanding of her actions and rueful sorrow that she couldn't ignore the age difference.
		This is a funky, trippy book that's simultaneously a quick read and something you want to linger over the second (and third, and fourth) time you read it.

	CRUDDY, by Lynda Barry, Required Reading for English 101
		On the long road of summer, the library is a gas station where you fill the tank, buy some candy bars, and stir cream and sugar into your burnt coffee before snapping on the lid, refreshed for the trip ahead.
		It is the story Dolores Hayes, the title character of Lolita, might have told had she been given a voice of her own and Nabokov had had the guts, ear, and experience to faithfully render the American idiom.
		When I commented to Anne about the irrelevance of the blurbs, she suggested that it's because no one wants to associate Lynda Barry, creator of the cuddly (though often quietly disturbing) Ernie Pook's Comeek, with Evil.

	Down the Street (Lynda Barry)
		Lynda Barry's messy, amateurish drawings evoke childhood better than just about anything else I've read.
		While most of her work is clearly intended as humor (and much of it is indeed howlingly funny), there is a haunting, sweet sadness of tone about a great deal of it too.
		Barry's not afraid to tackle serious incidents of loss, parental indifference, failure in school, and getting in trouble, but the kids in her stories seem always to take the bad things that happen to them in stride, with aplomb -- as children so often really do.

	One Hundred Demons by Lynda Barry (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Lynda Barry's art has never been more rich and satisfying than it is in One Hundred Demons, her first new book in years, and a real and significant departure for her.
		As we age our childhood recedes, growing ever dimmer in the distance; yet our characters -- which were forged by those experiences that took place during that childhood -- tend to remain relatively fixed despite the increasing distance from those formative years.
		In One Hundred Demons, Lynda Barry demonstrates again and again how our past is always there, hovering just below the surface of our conscious thoughts, pushing our buttons and directing our courses of action, regardless of whether we are aware or oblivious of this fact.

	Amazon.ca: Books: The Greatest of Marlys (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The book collects more than 200 of her syndicated four-panel strip Ernie Pook's Comeek, in which Barry deftly maps the emotional terrain of Marlys and the inevitable social traumas inherent in growing up.
		While Barry can be funny presenting the silly escapades and fantasies of Marlys, Arna, Freddie and Arnold, her real talent is the very nearly poetic invocation of moments of pubescent joy and humiliation as well as of the wonder at the fast-approaching, mysterious state of being a teenager.
		The popularity of Barry's comic strip "Ernie Pook's Comeek," an alternative newspaper mainstay, continues unabated after 15 years, but earlier collections of it are out of print.
