Thanksgiving Day RunaroundTHE SPIRIT OF COMICS

Commercial Appeal reports on the deaf minister who teaches sermons through comics.

"When I became a minister," Leavell said, "I realized the deaf would understand a Bible story better if I illustrated comic strips … turns out, they loved it!"

So Leavell created a comic book series called Light for the Deaf in 1966. Though they are on a temporary hiatus while he works on creating an online presence, Leavell's books eventually turned into a high-gloss, full-color and professionally printed series. They taught everything from basic Bible stories to the creation versus evolution debate.

RANCH ADRESSING

The Merritt Herald reports on an area rancher, turned graphic novelist.

"As a kid, [the U.S.] was always just a playground," he said. "You went somewhere that was kind of exotic, things were cheaper, and there was more of them. Then, as you get older, you realize, as [Pierre] Trudeau said, you're in bed with an elephant. It may not bother you, but you feel every twitch and movement. There's always been that 'What if?'"

That Trudeau quote opens the novel's foreword by Calgary-based novelist and recent Scotiabank Giller Prize recipient Will Ferguson and sets the stage for gritty, conspiratorial action.

EVEN IN SIBERIA…
