Blankets

The philosopher Pat Benatar once claimed, "Hell is for children", and indeed, Craig Thompson's young life was overrun with glimpses of that fiery underworld. Bullies, religious zealots, scary cubby holes, and a baby sitter who liked to do naughty things . . . just a typical day for Craig and his brother Phil. It was not a warm and snuggly existence.
His teen years were not much better, as he fell headlong into love, and experienced a crisis of faith. And all the while, there was that nagging worry that he should have done a better job protecting his baby brother.
This beautifully drawn graphic memoir serves as a reminder that life can be harsh. We should be grateful for any comforts (and comforters) we can find.

I think Linus Van Pelt should be included as well.
lol yes. I made reference to Linus the other day, and the (younger) person was all huh?? who's that? just another sign of the grim reaper lurking at my back.
Not at all! It's just another sign of the appalling ignorance of today's youth.
