Actually, when I bought a copy of Ghost World from Amazon, the book had the SAME EXACT PROBLEM! Even the color bars were visible! For a moment I thought “Oh, well, I don’t know much about Clowes. Maybe this is intentional?” I did eventually get to exchange it for a better copy.

Haha! Funny how these bookstores function! The book is priceless. And its price has doubled up suddenly, which is kind of scary:/

So I mustered the courage to write a comment. ^____^

Ah, that blue cover. It always stands out in every bookstore I go into. Blankets was a tremendous inspiration to me when I first read it, and is still that on every reread.

I was told that as part of my portfolio class (I’m an illustration student at the Ringling College of Art and Design) that I should contact an artist I admired. I used that assignment as the impetuous for this timid little comment.

I just wanted to add my voice to the other fanboys and just say, “thank you for writing blankets. I’m so very glad you did, even if some of them were printed upside down.”

Blankets is so beautifully written that it made me cry. I was raised bilingually – English and Chinese, so I could read a little when I saw the Chinese version of Blankets on your blog. I like the literal translation of the book title, vs. something altered for promotional reasons, as movie titles often are when distributed in foreign countries.

I just finished reading Blankets, forty-five minutes ago on the bus. Thank god I had it with me, it was a nightmare in transit.

Oh my goodness. It was so amazing to read about someone else’s Christian childhood, where you can’t sing but you can draw, where you’re supposed to fit in with God, but don’t, and the guilt buried under heaven. Lovely. I almost cried. On the bus.

I am going to go draw now….

this bookstore looks eerily familiar. i’m guessing the campus smith family in eugene.

Hello Craig! I don’t know if it’s the right place to do this… well, I’d like to say that I loved Blankets. I’m brazilian, so I bought and read the Portuguese edition a few days ago. The story makes me think about me and my brother, and a lot of other thing… It’s a really beautiful comic, and I hope they translate more of your graphic novels.

I saw a customer today at UCLA where I work who looked exactly like you. He even had what looked like a pocket sized spiral sketchbook with him but I didn’t dare ask him if he was THE Craig Thompson. If it was you, sorry for the creepy vibes and my not so subtle attempts to catch a glimpse at the name on your driver’s license.

such a great story! I imagined it in comics form upon my second time reading it which made it even funnier
