Also read your Graphic Storytelling Reading List (Part 1) Glad to see that I've read most of what's on there. I'm hoping that Part 2 will contain stuff by Will Eisner and Scott McCloud (Have you read Understanding Comics?) . Maybe even some Alan Moore?
I will blog about Kari in more detail this weekend. (If I don't procrastinate about it. :) )
