Funky Town is a modern fairy tale, of sorts.  Mixing old and new, Mathilde Van Gheluwe's 132 page graphic novel presents the stresses and traumas of a pre-adolescent girl as she confronts and navigates the world of appetites and emotions – with Baba Yaga for a mother!  Beautiful pencil art throughout.  You can get a peek at a few pages which accompany Philippe Leblanc's review at The Beat, HERE (but beware of spoilers in the text of the review itself).

During the latest very late late talk show, the famous Hollywood star Vlad the Cat remembers the glorious old days, a bittersweet tale of an overwhelming Hollywood career.
