Review of Punk Rock and Trailer Parks
 11/25/2008  by  Jennifer de Guzman
There's a review of Punk Rock and Trailer Parks in a round-up review of graphic novels in the Boston Globe. Reviewer Carlo Wolff calls the book's author, Derf, "John Backderf," which, even though I know it's his full name, caused me to pause for a second and say, "Hey... oh." On the book:

"It's grungy and often hysterically funny, revolving around the Baron, a high school misfit who wound up working at the long-defunct Bank and, briefly, as a rock singer. Derf's black-and-white art, in pages eight or nine panels dense, is wildly hormonal and hyperbolic, a nose-thumbing update of Robert Crumb. His take on underground rock and its occasional roots in trailer trash is fabulous. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland may be the area's "official" musical face, but Derf's work rings more true."

Tangentially related, SLG Prez Dan Vado is out of the office today because he chaperoned his son's high school band trip to Disneyland. (PR&TP's protagonist, Otto, as you can see from his T-shirt, is a member of the marching band.) We'll see how that went.
