Um, I actually really like the letters to McSweeney's. I love Harper Lee, and after all this hullabaloo intend to go snatch me a copy of Mockinbird down at Choctaw and re-read it. It's been at least fifteen years, although I watch the movie every few years or so. HA! Um, I actually really like the letters to McSweeney’s.

Sun, 02 Jul 2006 21:47:47 +0000 http://prettyfakes.com/?p=680#comment-11928 Berke Breathed, creator of the excellent "Bloom County" and the excreable "Opus", is a big Harper Lee fan and had many homages to <i>Mockingbird</i> in his comics. One of his "Outland" collections, if I recall correctly, reprinted a letter from Lee. So, therefore, she's been a whore for a long time. Hell, she probably made money from the movie. Total whore. Maybe she should write a letter to "McSweeny's". Nobody reads that.

And as for the art...I love Sally's fist in the air. I was about to say i like the quivery mouth at the end for Gorj. but i like something different on each face and the fact that the come the eye sequentially and simultaneously make them all that much better than they would standing alone. now, if only someone was in the background of the panel listening in so that in the last panel they could do a 'flip-take' it would be a flawless piece of art.

I don't even think that's something that is worth the barest amount of contemplation. And, you can read the "letter" at the link above; it's basically an essay, couched in letter form.

I wonder. She's been known to write polite letters that often refuse to participate in Mockingbird-related events. Not having read the whole letter in <i>O: The Magazine</i>, I'd love to know if Oprah is spinning a web of BS about HL choosing to "publish" in her mag.

What if J.D. Salinger jumps on the recluse rebirth wagon and does the same? The world will explode. Really, I just think it's a strange choice. Like having your coming out party at the Waffle House.
