Note to self: don't start you day at work by reading LAIKA, the graphic novel about the Russian space dog. No customer wants to walk into the comic store to see the clerk doubling over sobbing.
Current Mood:sniffly
Current Location:Big Planet Comics, Georgetown, Washington DC
Current Music:"The Sorrowful Wife," Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
Oh, ouch. I've purposefully stayed away from Laika because I knew it would make me both very angry and very sad. I'm not so sure about the "well researched" part when it comes to writing Russian characters, either. That's why I'll never, ever read WE. I know that it's brilliant and sad, but I'm not the target audience. I'm not the one that needs to be convinced that vivisection and killing of dozens of goats by the British government for their experiments on decompression sickness in the last five years is an evil and borderline sociopathic thing to do.
