Not exactly the ideal lab partners, the wisecracking Klink and the overly expressive Klank nonetheless help Frank attempt to perfect his inventions.. . . until Frank’s archnemesis, T. Edison, steals Klink and Klank for his evil doomsday plan! Integrating real science facts with wacky humor, a silly cast of characters, and science fiction, this uniquely engaging series is an irresistible chemical reaction for middle-grade readers.

Download or read book Factory Summers written by Guy Delisle and published by Drawn & Quarterly. This book was released on 2022-08-03 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For three summers beginning when he was 16, cartoonist Guy Delisle worked at a pulp and paper factory in Quebec City. Factory Summers chronicles the daily rhythms of life in the mill, and the twelve hour shifts he spent in a hot, noisy building filled with arcane machinery. Delisle takes his noted outsider perspective and applies it domestically, this time as a boy amongst men through the universal rite of passage of the summer job. Even as a teenager, Delisle’s keen eye for hypocrisy highlights the tensions of class and the rampant sexism an all-male workplace permits. Guy works the floor doing physically strenuous tasks. He is one of the few young people on site, and furthermore gets the job through his father’s connections, a fact which rightfully earns him disdain from the lifers. Guy’s dad spends his whole career in the white collar offices, working 9 to 5 instead of the rigorous 12-hour shifts of the unionized labor. Guy and his dad aren’t close, and Factory Summers leaves Delisle reconciling whether the job led to his dad’s aloofness and unhappiness. On his days off, Guy finds refuge in art, a world far beyond the factory floor. Delisle shows himself rediscovering comics at the public library, and preparing for animation school–only to be told on the first day, “There are no jobs in animation.” Eager to pursue a job he enjoys, Guy throws caution to the wind. Translated by Helge Dascher and Rob Aspinall

Download or read book Jerry Barnett s Motorcycle Memories written by Buzz Walneck and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-08-26 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jerry Barnett is famous for his automotive and motorcycle cartoons, as well as his political and satirical cartoons. He is also famous worldwide for his accurate cartoons and great story lines to go with them. Buzz Walneck is also famous worldwide, as an authority on classic motorcycles. Buzz has, for decades, published various classic motorcycle magazines, and Jerry has been there throughout - providing everything from cover art to comic strips. When I asked permission to put this collection of his into a printed book, he was very enthused so, Jerry, Steve and I have done just that. Jerry was born in Evansville, Indiana, and when growing up, he had several cycles, that you'll learn all about from his stories in this book. His love and passion for them is still just as strong. He memorizes amazing details of all kinds of bikes, be they Indians, Triumphs, Velocette, BSA Kawasaki's and Harleys plus far more. Jerry who was born on May 13, 1937. When growing up, his dad gave his good advice as dads usually do, if we just listen! His future in that area would be to work in the coal mine... His decision was easy... draw for a living. Schooling provided by his dad was at the "John Herron Art Institution." They taught true art, and even had a nude model at one time! Jerry did very well, but true art was not his way... he liked character drawing... The more accurate school would have been the Academy of Cartoon Art, in Chicago, but distance and cost prevented that. Jerry worked for a number of newspapers including "Gannet" with between 80 - 100 publications. He was making about $25.00 a week. Things got better but Jerry said he tired from "having to touch up photos of a politician who had a fly land on his nose when the photo was taken." Work for Peterson Publishing was about 15-years, and his love of cars too had him doing "CARtoons" for them. Moving on, Jerry found himself at a Democratic newspaper doing political cartoons that are still being done weekly in close to 100 newspapers. Jerry is still an active rider, and often drives from Indianapolis, to Martinsville, Indiana to attend Buzz's "Walneck's Motorcycle Swap Meets." And, of course, he's still drawing for Buzz, and motorcycle nuts everywhere.
