Reseña del libro "The Roommates Chronicles: Anatomy Of A College Newspaper Cartoon Strip (en Inglés)"
This book is a collection of the cartoon strip, "Roommates" which appeared in the James Madison University bi-weekly college newspaper, The Breeze, from October 1978 to April 1982.Each strip has been painstakingly restored, colored, and re-lettered by creator, Tom Arvis, and appears in its original chronological order, by publication date, with narration, analysis, and commentary by the author.Rather you're a JMU alumni looking to relive your memories of this strip, or just an avid fan of obscure, as well as popular, compilations of daily (or bi-weekly) cartoon strips, this book is a riotous cartoon romp which depicts the daily campus behavior of the average college student. Or at least the wacky, off-beat band of misfits that populated this strip during its four-year tenure, including a unique two-page spread in the 1980 edition of the JMU Yearbook, The Bluestone.Relax and enjoy as you are transported back to the seventies and early eighties, disco, flared pants, keg parties, bong sessions, and general unaccountability, as we chronicle, recount and revisit the original 134 strips, and the hilarious exploits of this cast of merry misanthropes.
