When I'm old, and other stories

New York based cartoonist Gabrielle Bell brings together for the first time thirty-five stories from the popular "Book of" series, plus several extra short comics, displaying the broad range of Bell's storytelling and cartooning talent. Her fiction includes Book of Black, a story of Kate, a pretty young rhinopasty assistant who encounters happy-go-lucky street people, a lascivious landlord, vapid co-workers and Trent Reznor on her descent into madness. "Amy was a Babysitter" takes a sweeter tone in which the wanderlusting heroine spins captivating tales about a world she imagines to be outside the small town she wishes to leave. "The Fairy Tale About the Wicker Chair," is an adaptation of a Herman Hesse story about a self-styled young artist whose furniture will not sit still long enough for him to sketch it. "Anatomy of the Heart" attempts to discover the source of and the cure for broken hearts. Bell's autobiographical tales feature the author as an eccentric old lady, a five hundred foot tall woman, in England, in Mexico with a baby, and being charmed and hypnotized by colorful San Francisco characters. whenimold-001......Page 1 whenimold-002......Page 2 whenimold-003......Page 3 whenimold-004......Page 4 whenimold-005......Page 5 whenimold-006......Page 6 whenimold-007......Page 7 whenimold-008......Page 8 whenimold-009......Page 9 whenimold-00a-cover......Page 10 whenimold-00b-ifc......Page 11 whenimold-010......Page 12 whenimold-011......Page 13 whenimold-012......Page 14 whenimold-013......Page 15 whenimold-014......Page 16 whenimold-015......Page 17 whenimold-016......Page 18 whenimold-017......Page 19 whenimold-018......Page 20 whenimold-019......Page 21 whenimold-020......Page 22 whenimold-021......Page 23 whenimold-022......Page 24 whenimold-023......Page 25 whenimold-024......Page 26 whenimold-025......Page 27 whenimold-026......Page 28 whenimold-027......Page 29 whenimold-028......Page 30 whenimold-029......Page 31 whenimold-030......Page 32 whenimold-031......Page 33 whenimold-032......Page 34 whenimold-033......Page 35 whenimold-034......Page 36 whenimold-035......Page 37 whenimold-036......Page 38 whenimold-037......Page 39 whenimold-038......Page 40 whenimold-039......Page 41 whenimold-040......Page 42 whenimold-041......Page 43 whenimold-042......Page 44 whenimold-043......Page 45 whenimold-044......Page 46 whenimold-045......Page 47 whenimold-046......Page 48 whenimold-047......Page 49 whenimold-048......Page 50 whenimold-049......Page 51 whenimold-050......Page 52 whenimold-051......Page 53 whenimold-052......Page 54 whenimold-053......Page 55 whenimold-054......Page 56 whenimold-055......Page 57 whenimold-056......Page 58 whenimold-057......Page 59 whenimold-058......Page 60 whenimold-059......Page 61 whenimold-060-061......Page 62 whenimold-062......Page 63 whenimold-063......Page 64 whenimold-064......Page 65 whenimold-065......Page 66 whenimold-066......Page 67 whenimold-067......Page 68 whenimold-068......Page 69 whenimold-069......Page 70 whenimold-070......Page 71 whenimold-071......Page 72 whenimold-072......Page 73 whenimold-073......Page 74 whenimold-074......Page 75 whenimold-075......Page 76 whenimold-076......Page 77 whenimold-077......Page 78 whenimold-078......Page 79 whenimold-079......Page 80 whenimold-080......Page 81 whenimold-081......Page 82 whenimold-082......Page 83 whenimold-083......Page 84 whenimold-084......Page 85 whenimold-085......Page 86 whenimold-086......Page 87 whenimold-087......Page 88 whenimold-088......Page 89 whenimold-089......Page 90 whenimold-090......Page 91 whenimold-091......Page 92 whenimold-092......Page 93 whenimold-093......Page 94 whenimold-094......Page 95 whenimold-095......Page 96 whenimold-096......Page 97 whenimold-097......Page 98 whenimold-098......Page 99 whenimold-099......Page 100 whenimold-100......Page 101 whenimold-101......Page 102 whenimold-102......Page 103 whenimold-103......Page 104 whenimold-104......Page 105 whenimold-105......Page 106 whenimold-106......Page 107 whenimold-107......Page 108 whenimold-108......Page 109 whenimold-109......Page 110 whenimold-110......Page 111 whenimold-111......Page 112 whenimold-112......Page 113 whenimold-113......Page 114 whenimold-114......Page 115 whenimold-115......Page 116 whenimold-116......Page 117 whenimold-117......Page 118 whenimold-118......Page 119 whenimold-119......Page 120 whenimold-120......Page 121 whenimold-121......Page 122 whenimold-122......Page 123 whenimold-123......Page 124 whenimold-124......Page 125 whenimold-125......Page 126 whenimold-126......Page 127 whenimold-127......Page 128 whenimold-xxa......Page 129 whenimold-xxb-ibc......Page 130 whenimold-xxc-bc......Page 131 New York based cartoonist Gabrielle Bell brings together for the first time thirty-five of the popular “Book of” series, plus several extra short comics, displaying the broad range of Bell’s storytelling and cartooning talent.
