This critique of the art world will have you crying with laughter
In Wendy's Revenge, Scott's titular heroine returns with a fresh
set of awkward misadventures and messy nights out. When the book
opens, aspiring artist Wendy has decided to move to the west coast
to clear her head. She plans on getting some quality time with her
collaborator and friend Winona, only to find Winona packing up to
leave, having decided to move back in with her mom on the rez. All
alone, Wendy endeavours to foster community in Vancouver's bleak
art scene. When her hope and optimism are all used up, she packs
her bags for an artist residency in Japan. Wendy then gallery hops
and parties around the globe until she stumbles upon the
opportunity to unite with former foe Paloma. Together they enact
revenge on VVURST, the German publication that once tore her
performance art to shreds. Young artists struggle with mental
health issues, they get wasted and hook up with men with gross
piercings, and they're afflicted with an insatiable longing for a
stable identity--stability they themselves undermine. Scott's
deceptively simple, inky character drawings evoke millennial
culture with such Jungian accuracy that you can't help but stare
and giggle in equal measure. Praised by The New Yorker, Guardian,
Globe and Mail, and with an appearance in the Best American Comics
anthology, it's clear why Walter Scott's Wendy comics have taken
critics by storm.

is enormous interest in the Perl community (Perl use=14% and
succeeds Linux and PHP in popularity) about its features and coding
style / Many Perl 6-isms are suitable for production code and
serious software development. * Most up-to-date text possible on
the Perl language. * Walters assists with bimonthly Phoenix Perl
Mongers user group meetings, often presenting. Presentations
include demonstrations of his CPAN modules, current topics in
