Sinopsis

This anthology from the acclaimed comic strip delves into the weirdness of America as it enters the twenty-first century, dot com, Dubya, and all. 
 
Even challenging George “Dubya” Bush to a “pronunciation bee” can't save Uncle Duke's weird horse race for the White House. In the end, the former Ambassador passes out in a snowbank while the Cheney Administration kicks into high gear. Predictablistically, the new presidential syntax isn't the only thing that's tortured and strange.  
 
Take myvulture.com, an Internet company born and born-again, worth $1 million or $500, depending on whether you ask the CEO or his mother; or look at Joanie Caucus as the turnover in Washington casts her career into play, if not into midlife crisis; or consider J.J. and Zeke, whose pay-per-view, online wedding yields mucho buzz but zero bucks—just like the rest of the Net. Yes, it's a Dubya Dubya Dubya world. Doonesbury just downloads it.
Disponible desde: 19/06/2012.
Longitud de impresión: 152 páginas.

    What would road rage in Beverly Hills look like? From the whimsical perspective of The Other Coast creator Adrian Raeside, it would involve a prim-and-proper hurling of a jar of Grey Poupon at the offending driver. The Other Coast: Road Rage in Beverly Hills is the first collection of Adrian Raeside's strip featuring his off-kilter view of contemporary life. Raeside's lighthearted look at culture, politics, fashion, society, and life in general is both insightful and hilarious. Whether it's taking a clever poke at our obsession with wireless phones, our inability to maintain a workout program, or the witty banter of married life, The Other Coast is a bastion of original thinking, wry wit, and out-loud laughs. Much of the humor comes at the expense of Toulose, the eccentric screenwriter, and his cause-seeking wife, Vicki. But the strip also features a colorful cast of repair people, kids, contractors, tech-support goons, agents, pets, and much more. Those enjoying strips that provide more than the "same ol' schtick" are sure to relish a visit to The Other Coast, where folks aren't deep enough to be shallow.

    Enjoy this short story by Hellen Heels. 
    That’s not to say that Leah was not beautiful. But she was the shy, petite beauty of a girl whereas Bella was a beautiful, gorgeous woman and would have been dubbed a maneater. 
    When the orientation ended, Leah gathered her things, also gathering the nerve to say hi to Bella, whom she would be stuck to for next twelve months, when Bella made it unnecessary. 
    “Hi Leah, I am so glad to meet you. I read your paper on the possibilities of using 3D organ models for surgery. It was amazing.” 
    Leah flushed but felt a bit more confident. “Hi, thanks. I thought no one read it, it felt so out there.” 
    Bella shook her beautiful head. “Oh no, it was brilliant.” Then she threw the most charming smile Leah had seen in her life, which, for some reason, made Leah blush. “And don’t you worry, I can see you are the shy, nervous type and you seem half out of your wits to be working under someone like Harold, but don’t worry, I have got your back. I am sure we will become great friends.” 
    She said everything so confidently but also so candidly that Leah believed her and actually felt her spirits lifting. And Bella was so nice that Leah couldn’t even feel justified in being jealous of her charm and beauty.

    “Sense and Super Abilities” is a pastiche of the settings, style, and sort of characters usually associated with Jane Austen and Superlatives, superhuman characters similar to modern comic book heroes. Though it combines two previously existing elements, it is an original story and not a mash-up. Told as a first-person narrative by its main character, Catherine Eldenbrook, “Sense and Super-Abilities” details: 
    • Catherine’s humble beginnings as a reclusive scientist’s daughter. 
    • Her personal history, the death of her mother, and her long and loving relationship with Fanny, her robotic nursemaid and governess 
    • Her transformation into an augmented being, and learning that it is her destiny to become a Superlative. 
    • Her training under the other Superlatives, and her ultimate test coming from somewhere frighteningly close to home 
    Readers hear Catherine’s story from Catherine herself. While she may begin as a simple country girl with no idea of going to London to train in the ways of combating ultimate evil, it is a fate that she learns is inescapable. She also learns that power, attaining it as well as using it wisely, can have dire and unexpected consequences. “Sense and Super-Abilities” is the tale of one girl’s coming of age, and how she learns to do what is right, even if it is not what comes easily. 
    Short Story Press publishes short stories written by everyday writers.
