Alphonse

A break from SIcily - and I discover that my internet connection is much better in the morning. So maybe I can start some other kind of blogging in the meantime, if I can just get up early enough.

My friend Matthew Lickona has written a graphic novel - the first volume of several - about Alphonse. As far as I am concerned, Alphonse expresses the core of the abortion issue, without sentimentality or a fear of offense. It is a fascinating, rich, deeply suggestive work.

Here's the basic webpage for Alphonse.

Here's where you can buy Alphonse - it's only 2.99 - and perhaps worth buying especially for the hard core young adult in your life who is unfazed by violence and brutality, including that of abortion.

Here's Alphonse's Twitter page.
