Flight 3

Just read this comic the other day and I was so impressed by it, I'm going to recommend it to everyone.

It's a complilation of short comics written by various comic writters. The stories range from abstract (eh WTF?) to heartwarming.

Some of the ones that I really liked include

"Message in a Bottle" by Rodolphe Guenoden




A heartwarming story in which a guy sees a girl on a train feeling down. She's crying. He notices that her bag is left on the side, unwatched. He moves over, constantly eyeing the bag and seats on a seat behind her. While the girls is looking out of the window, he sneaks over and puts his hand into her bag.

The girl notices it and shrieks for help. A kind passenger grabs the boy and hits him. However the boy manages to escape when the train reaches the next station. The passenger goes back to see if the girl is ok and asks her if anything was stolen. The girl checkes her bag. Everything is there, and one additional thing.

A smiley face.

"So Far, So Close" by Bannister




A guy is sitting on a bus when he sees a girl. He looks at her, unable to take his eyes of him. She chances upon him looking at her, and smiles back. The guy, embarrased, turns away. A man comes in between them.

The boy is unhappy, unable to see the girl. He looks around the man, and sees the girl looking at him. The sunlight frames the girl giving her an angelic look. The boy is once again embarrased. When he next looks, he realises the girl is getting off at her stop.

When the bus leaves, they give each other a smile. They will probably never see each other again, but for that brief moment of time, they were connected.

I'm sure that has happened to most people in their life but to see it in pictures, was awesome.

Really recommend people to pick this up and take a look. It's a really interesting piece of work.

Next books I'm aiming for:

"American Gods" by Neil Gaiman
"The Why Cafe" (also known as "Why are you here cafe") by John P. Strelecky [*anybody has it? Can lend it to me?*]
