Description
Here is the first new collection of Lynda Barry's nationally syndicated cartoon strip in more than five years. Lynda Barry, creator of the *'My Life'* and *'Ernie Pook's Comeek'* comic strips, is syndicated in over 40 alternative weekly newspapers across the country. **The Freddie Stories**—featuring sisters **Marlys** and **Maybonne**, and their spunky little brother **Freddie**--continues Lynda Barry's brilliant, raw, and completely original exploration of youth, coming of age, friendship, attitude, and being in the world. Another Description: "The Freddie Stories traces a year in the life of **Freddie**, the youngest member of the dysfunctional Mullen family. These four-panel entries—each representing an episode in the life of Freddie—bring to life adolescence, pimples and all. With consummate skill, Lynda Barry writes about the cruelty of children at this most vulnerable age when the friends they make and the paths they choose can forever change their lives. Every word of dialogue, every piece of narration, and every dark line evokes adolescent angst. The Freddie Stories is an adult tale about just how hard it is to be a teenager, and it’s classic Barry work—poignant, insightful, and true."
