Kids are chattering and wandering about be- tween classes. There’s a pretty blonde named Abi over there cradling her books, wearing stylish T.J. Maxx, and just generally throwing off cool. Boys slow as they pass and say hi with a hopeful little wave. Girls cluster around the leader of their clique. Cheerleader power. ■ Dream on. That’s all the real Abi can do. Abi is 15 and probably could fit some of the above roles given more favorable circumstances. Alas, cir- cumstances would not be her friend because there is a mountain range of them standing in her way. The first is her address. She doesn’t have one. At present, it’s a parking lot on 28th Street that’s free to homeless people. That’s where I met her when I wrote last week’s column on her family, the Garcias. The family is parked there each night in a ’99 Ford Explorer with no place else to go, though they are trying to find one. They sometimes rent a cheap motel for a night or go to the husband’s mother’s small apartment for a shower or to cook a meal. Abi (“Abby”) shares the backseat with her sister, Hannah, a year younger.

  • One Fine Sunday in the Funny Pages” Exhibit
    John Read is the creator and curator of the “One Fine Sunday in the Funny Pages” exhibit. A freelance cartoonist, John also teaches cartooning to children and is the publisher and editor of Stay Tooned! Magazine, considered the trade journal of the craft. The Comic Mode The comic strip provides a colorful and humorous respite from the serious and often tragic news that precedes it. There are many reasons for reading the “funny pages”; from the basic need to be entertained, to the desire to escape for a moment into what seems a playful combination of a joke and a sequence of images that illustrate the nonsense and play that generates it. Yet, what really constitutes the “comic” in a comic strip? Are they simply funny, as in Blondie, Garfield or Hagar the Horrible? Or do we sense underlying tones of irony, satire, political and social commentary as evidenced in Doonesbury, Non Sequitur, and Between Friends? How are we to understand the double entendre, the sting of wit or the twist of the absurd that infuses so many contemporary comic strips? It would seem that as in dreams, there are many levels to the comic mode. On the first take, the superficial or manifest appeal generates a smile or laughter. But as with many dreams and good jokes, there is the second take, a latent need to establish or defy meaning as embedded within the structure of the images themselves. The paradox or playfulness of the comic strip partially lies in discovering the truth in the nonsensical aspects of day-to-day living.
