A review of Escape from the Great American Novel, Drew Lerman's zany satire on art, nature, and capitalism

Drew Lerman’s comic strip Snake Creek takes us into the world of best pals Roy and Dav, weirdos among weirdos in Weirdest Florida. Their adventures and misadventures are both absurdly comic and zanily tragic, calling to mind George Herriman’s Krazy Kat strips and Samuel Beckett’s pessimism, Walt Kelly’s primeval Pogo and Robert Coover’s jivetalk, all rendered in kinetic black ink four-panel…

Recently been in a cowboy mood so that's what I'm currently doing. Making a wild west / cowboy au.

Half based on facts half based on the stories, movies and stuff. I don't have anything drawn for it yet but I will say that some characters are based on their phone destroyer adventure theme cards. Like sheriff Cartman and gunslinger Kyle.

Anyways, the town it's mostly based in is called Snake Creek so that'll most likely be the tag and au name.

Escape from the Great American Novel by Drew Lerman

Escape from the Great American Novel uses comics to confront the challenge presented by how best to manifest the creative communicative drive.  Along with the novel, poetry and song are explored. Cultural identities, communal living arrangements of various sorts, private property and business interests, as well as conflicts between the public and the private, and the forces of nature and technology all figure in the narrative as it unspools amidst the lo-fi hi-jinx of scratchy ink delineated cartoon characters.

Available now, here.

Yet more gifts of Appalachian summer.

I've been on a mission to catalogue as many of Central Appalachia's summer wildflowers and berries as possible for an online project I'm starting up. Above is the haul from yesterday, including the stunning orange-fringed orchid (Platanthera ciliaris), a grand summer orchid of Appalachia's wet seeps and meadows. Downy rattlesnake plantain (Goodyera pubescens), another of our summer-blooming orchids, may not be quite as showy, but its intricately-patterned leaves are quite striking. Turk's-cap lily (Lilium superbum) is also in bloom in our local wet meadows and swamps. It's distinguished from its close cousin Canada lily by more strongly recurved petals and a green, star-like pattern in the center of its flowers. A single Turk's cap lily can produce dozens of flowers from its rangy stems. At home in moist woodland edges and streambanks, summer phlox (Phlox paniculata), sometimes also referred to as fall phlox and garden phlox, produces loads of gorgeous pink or white flowers from mid-July through September. Because this phlox is commonly planted in gardens nowadays, it's hard to know if plants in the wild are true natives or escapees.

What if Creek was nice?

(I honestly like how you write him, as it is believable and a popular way. This is just a silly ask for for my Creek lover self-)

Because to be completely fair, dude did what he had to do to survive. He was in a lose-lose situation. The chef already knew where to look by then and that party would have gotten them caught in the end, he probably panicked and chose self persuasion and just had to role with it because of looming threat of being eaten alive.

Anyway, rambling done-(lies)

Creek could offer a lot to the Grey tribe, Yoga loosens the joints and helps with flexibility(which is helpful in many ways) and being able to..tame? Befriend? Critters would be helpful, and maybe mediation could help the more the traumatised Grey trolls and even branch himself(yk. Calm him down a little-)

Idk if this is a stupid or rude ask-i just find this au interesting and your(amazing) writing!

Thanks for the love!!!!! Honestly I would sympathize and probably be a Creek defender because he was technically in a lose lose scenario (the chef had the village location and hostages) I can excuse not wanting to die and panicking by making not though out promises, BUT the reason I hate him is because HE WAS SUCH A DICK AFTER HE SOLD THEM OUT!!! He was so smug and condescending even gave a lil shrug to the village after he gave them up to chef, I’m just saying he couldn’t look a lil guilty or sad for selling everyone out!!! anyway sorry for the ramble also😅 (a ramble for a ramble) he is way more likable in the series as he is funny

If Creek was nice the village would treat him so much better and Creek would probably become a village therapist so they could stop pushing their issues away to focus on “survival”. Also I think it’s funny I had similar ideas on how Creek could help the village (he has to work to keep his place) He teaches yoga class plus does some meditating groups with the residents. The critter idea sounds amazing I can think of how Creek would tame (?) critters and maybe get some domesticated animals in the village. Creek also feels like the kinda guy to have a bunch of weird tricks and remedies for random body issues. Overall Creek sucks (in my opinion) but he’s helpful if he was nice,trolls would like him waaaaaayyy better.

Also he and Branch might get together if he was nice……might

Drew Lerman's Escape from the Great American Novel (Book acquired, end of April 2023)

I’ve long been a fan of Drew Lerman’s Snake Creek strip, and eagerly look forward to each new collection. The latest is Escape from the Great American Novel, which I’ve tried not to read all at once. I should have a full review in the next few weeks, but so far, Great Stuff—Escape is funny, erudite without being precious, and soulful. It also shows an expansion of Lerman’s narrative development…

Day Date at Spruce Knob-Seneca Rocks National Recreation Area, Part 1. Most couples would probably equate a "date" to a nice dinner out and a Marvel adventure movie, but Blake and I, being hopeless nature fanatics and aspiring satyrs without hooves, equate it to mean "putzing around in the mountains". The timing was perfect: the haze from the Canadian wildfires, which has been choking most the US Mid-Atlantic and Northeast for the past week, had mostly moved on, replaced by a crisp blue sky with a light breeze.

From top: the view from the Rich Mountain Overlook on Old Route 33, heading toward Harman; Blake communing with the mystic creek chubs in Gandy Creek, one of the best brook trout streams in the Mid-Atlantic region; cow parsnip (Heracleum maximum), a mildly phototoxic beauty that Native Americans relied on for food and medicine; a forest composition of false green hellebore (Veratrum viride), ferns, wild geranium (Geranium maculatum), and golden Alexander (Zizia aurea); a close-up of golden Alexander, a lovely, spring-blooming member of the carrot family; the wetlands complex at Spruce Knob Lake; shining ladies' tresses (Spiranthes lucida), a spring to early summer-blooming bog orchid recognizable from its bright yellow labellum; bunchberry (Cornus canadensis), which can be easily mistaken for a spring-blooming forb but is actually a dwarf dogwood; and a feisty eastern garter snake (Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis), whose saliva contains a mild neurotoxin that is deadly to its prey but harmless to humans.
