![]() ![]() ![]() Taking some time off from his busy summer schedule, Drawn and Quarterly mastermind Chris Oliveros sat down with us to discuss graphic novels, the Manifesto, and what his company has coming up in the latter half of 2003.

![]() ![]() You need your characters to have flaws that kids to relate to, because no one's perfect. Being nice isn't the only personality trait. The show is fine but not my favorite and I wouldn't watch it everyday because the characters don't seem to written strongly enough, they're all just nice and excitable, which is a huge problem with modern preschool shows. ![]() Adam Peltzman helms the show, and he has a great track record of working on preschool shows with clever writing and strong characters like Wallykazam and Odd Squad. The show has a 50s-60s aesthetic, which makes sense because as I said, the book was made in 1961. The characters look happy, expressive, and cuddly. Plus, the fur on the dogs is very detailed. The animation is bright and colorful, but not eye-bleeding neon. I was cautious because of Wildbrain's involvement because I don't particularly like them, but this show was of surprising quality. Going into "Go Dog Go!" I didn't know what to expect, and I thought it looked rather lame at first. With soulless merchandise-driven crap like Mighty Express and Rainbow Rangers being mass-marketed to kids, this show, which is instead based on a book from 1961, was a pleasant surprise. ![]() ![]() It was a real thrill to look at who Carrie Soto was in Malibu Rising and ask myself, ‘Where can I take her next?’" ![]() “I had already created someone I knew well enough to follow on another journey.

They don’t have to be read in any particular order but they are variations on a theme – and they work in tandem,” Jenkins Reid explains to us. From the Old Hollywood charm of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo to Seventies rock parable Daisy Jones & The Six, the ocean-misted Eighties of Malibu Rising and, most recently, the fierce competition of top-tier tennis in Nineties-set novel Carrie Soto Is Back, Jenkins Reid’s books cover a particularly alluring part of the 20th Century, where glamour and danger endlessly collide.ĭid you know, though, that the four books exist in the same universe? “I think these four books work as a set.

Expanding critical theory, contemporary progressive theorists - engaged in justice struggles - will find their thought influenced by the liberation praxis of Angela Y. Even for readers who primarily know her as a revolutionary of the late 1960s and early 1970s (or as a political icon for militant activism) she has greatly expanded the scope and range of social philosophy and political theory. Challenging the foundations of mainstream discourse, her analyses of culture, gender, capital, and race have profoundly influenced democratic theory, antiracist feminism, critical studies and political struggles. ![]() ![]() Davis has written on liberation theory and democratic praxis. ![]() ![]() * Ross McRae's article, " Opportunity knocks for Jasper Jones’ Aaron L. * The Guardian's review of the upcoming Jasper Jones movie, " Spielberg meets Stranger Things in Australian coming-of-age tale" ( archive 1, archive 2). * Linda Morris's article in the Sydney Morning Herald, " Hugo Weaving, Toni Collette join all-star cast of Jasper Jones" ( archive). ![]() * SBS's article, Rachel Perkins' Jasper Jones is cast and ready to film in WA" ( archive). ![]() Check out Shaun Grant's IMDb, his agency's page, and his article about cowriting the screenplay, " From Snowtown to Jasper Jones, An Insider's View of the Art of Adaptation" ( archive 1, archive 2).
