In my latest
search for something that would come in handy for my hair recovery after chemical treatment where I was looking for online recommendations
of product that might help me with my hair problems such as
loose ends and dryness, I found some interesting sites and items.
The difference between American Splendor and Ghost World is that with two solitary figures in
search of completion, there is the possibility for recognition
of sameness — but with two figures (underground comic book writer Harvey Pekar and his wife Joyce Brabner (Hope Davis)-RRB- who have found in one another a sympathetic orbit, a partner in life and lo, with a child dropped willy - nilly into their midst to tie up
loose ends, there is instead a sort
of alien, island
of lost toys exclusion that makes for a further alienation
of the very alienated audience to which Pekar's comic so appealed and, eventually, took for granted and pandered.
A lot
of folks don't like the
ending, but it ties up all the
loose ends (certainly not in a way we hope for and expect) and solidifies everything that has come before it as one man's fruitless
search for meaning and decency in a world that seems to deny us sense and civility on a daily basis.
