#TBRtemptation post! This is a brand-new biography in the vein of "Peanuts" cartoonist Charles Schultz. This is about George Harriman, creator of "Krazy Kat", considered the greatest comic strip in history. Born in 1800s Louisiana, he made it to LA & NYC, playing on real-life so well that he transformed the comic strip from daily amusement to anarchic art. All the while, he kept a secret--he wasn't Greek, he was black. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook ?
Absorbed by another few chapters in this good bio. Ending the weekend with a recommended (so far) read
Will be reading this well-written biography in daily chunks. First 3 chapters grabbed my attention. If you like biography, comics, sociocultural issues, the arts, journalism, you should pick this up. #24in48 #readathon
