One Hundred Demons by Lynda Barry

Inspired by an ancient Buddhist scroll depicting one hundred demons, the author decided to create her own "scroll" of personal demons from her girlhood. The child-like drawings show old humiliations, thrills and discoveries about family, friends, neighbors, teachers and old boy friends. One by one, each strip seems inconsequential, but as an aggregate, it's a terrific distallation of growing up in the 60's and 70's. - JEP
