Superheroics and Sidekicks Become Metaphors for Love in ‘Girl and Boy’ [Preview]
By Laura Hudson
In Girl and Boy, the debut comic by Andrew Tunney, a heroine named Girl explores her relationship with the titular hero in a story that may or may not really be about superheroes. “We fight crime and loneliness,” says Girl as the two masked crusaders race through the streets. “I think he’s my favorite sidekick ever.” Superhero comics love to pair characters off as heroes and sidekicks (not to mention good guys and their evil counterparts), and Girl and Boy takes a look at those familiar tropes as metaphors for how certain relationships can begin to define us, and what happens to our identities (secret or otherwise) once they’re over.
quote from Dr. Seuss today! :)
Come on keep your head UP
‘Next time I see someone saying they won’t watch/read One Piece because of the art, I’ll ask them if they like Bleach or Naruto and show them the first chapter of each series. The art in the first chapter of One Piece is much better than the other two in my opinion… People should care more about the amazing story instead of the art (which I think it’s amazing too).’- confession by an Anonymous.
xoxox ;*
Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I stay up and think of you
And I wish on a star
That somewhere you are thinking of me too
‘Cause I’m dreaming of you tonight
‘Til tomorrow I’ll be holding you tight
And there’s nowhere in the world I’d rather be ♥
