Bone vol 1 by jeff smith5/20/2023 ![]() I’m starting to feel like a grumpy old fart at this point. The colour version is for those who can’t cope with black & white books ![]() Tom loved the look too as it plays to his strong animation sensibilities. Jake rather liked the styling stating that ‘cute things under threat is basically my thing’. Maybe we can just leave it at ‘inspired by’ and be done with it. Are they Moomins? They sure look like Moomins. The cartoony look just puts me off straight away. I don’t really get the Bonevillians either. Apparently Smith started writing/drawing this when he himself was a kid which could explain a few things. Tom and Jake weren’t quite so irritated by this as I was. Oh dear… Bone-headedīugbear number one: The names - Fone Bone, Phoney Bone, Bone, Boneville. Which is why I thought I hadn’t read it in the first place. Or, more accurately, I have tried to read it before. Here’s the Comic Book Defense leagues run down of why Bone was banned in several schools in the USĪnyway, I digress. It appears that the first volume of Bone was included in that pile of comics alongside more obviously spicy stuff like Black Kiss! Weird. Way back in the day I’d purchased a ‘Banned Comics’ Humble Bundle (You do Humble, right? If not you really should do - there’s some great stuff on there!). So I can definitely say that I’ve never read Bone before. It forces us to steer away from the easy options and the old favourites when we are running short of ideas. In the CBC we try to steer away from reading anything too familiar. ![]()
