Staff Pick of the Week

Today’s Staff Pick is Mimi Pond’s delightful book Half Off. Pond is a dedicated cartoonist, graphic novelist, and writer with writing credits that include The Simpsons, Pee Wee’s Playhouse, and Designing Women. She has also been a longstanding cartoonist for the Los Angeles Times and won an Inkpot Award in 2014 after her the release of her graphic novel Over Easy. 

Half Off presents witty observational stories centered around swimming at the YWCA, bargains shopping at Woolworth’s and Capwell’s, and Pond’s years as a waitress at Mama’s Royal Café in California. The stories are accompanied by relief engravings in Pond’s distinct illustrative style and exuberant color palette. Published by Rebis Press in 1981, Half Off was designed, printed, and bound by Pond and Rebis partner Betsy Davids in an edition of 115 copies signed by both the artist and publisher. The book is joyously finished with a half-shower cap binding and bubblegum pink fishnet overlay. Of the 115 copies made, Special Collections holds number 97, signed by the artist and publisher.

THE FOXHOLE COURT BONUS CHAPTERS SPOILERS BELOW

[lily-s-world]

Wymack was ready to propose to Kayleigh, but choose to leave to not overstep Kayleigh boundaries. Wymack called Kayleigh to know if Kevin was his and was ready to be a dad, but she said no so Wymack let it go. He sees Kayleigh everytime he looks at Kevin.

Betsy developed an unnoticed way to call Andrew's attention when he is going anxious and trying to hurt himself. That way he stops and nobody notices.

Andrew accepted joining PSU because it was Aaron's opportunity to study medicine and became the doctor their mother couldn't believe he could be.

Aaron was able to see through Andrew's denial about his feelings for Neil. Because he knew his brother ticks, expressions and mannerisms better than he let it show.

Unpopular Opinion but Andrew sees Wymack as more of a parental figure than Betsy.

Hear me out. He crashes on his couch, talks to him about Neil, stays over at his place all the time. He stays there the weekend after Higgins call.

Obviously he cares about Betsy, and she is his mother figure and friend but I think wymack is his go to when he just needs to decompress

"Maybe it's past time to put the monster away. You could be their friend, their cousin, their brother. Don't you think you deserve that?"

[rabidfoxes]

thinking about the possible interactions we could get between neil and jeremy with neil's "overly nice people are unsettling and have something to hide" mentality and between andrew and jeremy with andrew's history of getting along well with and respecting kind people who choose to be good in spite of all the bad things life throws at them (renee, betsy, wymack)

ALL FOR THE GAME NEW BOOK SPOILERS BELOW

[owlarchimedes]

I don't get why some people think Andrew wouldn't get along with Jeremy? Look at how he treats kind people, kind people who've gone through their own hardships but in the end chose to "be a bad person trying very hard to be a good person" (Renee, Wymack) or just people who are always kind and try to help (Bee, and Abby to an extent).

The point is Andrew would take one look at captain sunshine and just know he'd get along with him (even if he doesn't show it in a traditional way)

[joejhang]

kevin and andrew are genuinely such fascinating characters to me because we have literally never gotten anything from their pov's yet they remain two of the most relevant, involved, important and main characters in this universe, but all we've really seen of them are them from other people's perspectives. like yes, we have them from the perspectives of the people who love and know them the best (jean, jeremy and wymack for kevin, aaron, bee, renee and neil for andrew) but we still don't/can't know them fully because we have genuinely never read anything from their perspective. isn't that just insane.
