Well, "A" is for "amygdala," Mr. Sweet

Lackadaisy is a lot like Baccano! with cats. Less alchemy, more drinking, similar incidence of ultraviolence. It also looks like one of the more erudite comics this side of 2D Goggles: the artist apologizes for the inclusion of an anachronistic radio and the uncertainty of paper napkins. My favorite character appears to be a psychopathic neat-freak of a Jewish contract killer with no sense of humor, but a nice line in suits and pince-nez; I discovered him when he looked like the down-right corner here, but this is more his usual style. I suppose it's good to know my character tastes are intact even when they're all anthropomorphic cats.

I dreamed about watching lost silent films starring Louise Brooks. The last thing I was reading before bed was Diane Duane's Spock's World (1988), but evidently the '20's stuck.

If your public library can find Sandy Wilson's This Is Sylvia, I think you would enjoy it.

Noted. Would you like to tell me anything about it, or is it best discovered independently?

Just keep in mind the context in which I'm recommending this odd little book...

I'll expect either cats or tommy guns.
