It's the kind of book that men and women who believe in the power of love and the existence of fate will want to take home and read again and again. At least that's true for cartoonist Tom Beland. Weaving tales of innocence and wit, Tom welcomes you into his life and you'll soon be wanting another 100 stories.. In other words, this is a small story with big promise.Life is funnier than fiction. True Stories, Swear To God: 100 Stories is Tom Beland's unique look at everyday events. A California-based cartoonist with a tumultuous childhood and a strong sense of family leaves it all behind and moves to Puerto Rico to be with the love of his life. Cartoonist Tom Beland tells true stories of his life with his wife, Lily, in this heartfelt valentine.It's intelligent and well written and unabashedly romantic
Kate said Pleasant enough collection of stories. Well this is unlikely to revolutionise the graphic novel genre, it is a pleasant little collection of stories with lovely art and a great deal of gentle humour.I thought the tales about he and his wife were particularly warming, while I also enjoyed the stories about his childhood and father and the measures he takes to mourn his father's passing. While they are all quite distinct stories, they really do narrate and flesh out a character, which is perhaps the ultimate aim of such a work. As I have said, the art is quite lovely, simple yet detailed and very sweet.However, I had a few small problems with the work. Firs
