A Review of Zoo Patrol Squad: A New Sheriff in Town by Brett Bean

by Jason D. DeHart

Zoo Patrol Squad: A New Sheriff in Town, by Brett Bean, Penguin Workshop, ISBN 978-0-593-22660-5, $12.99, https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/series/ZPS/zoo-patrol-squad

To begin my review, I will note a few features in Zoo Patrol Squad: A New Sheriff in Town by Brett Bean: a feline character sending evil vibes with a tilted top hat is way too tall; a colorful and cartoonish western-style saloon setting; and comedic elements that hearken back to Mel Blanc ‘toons (e.g., animal characters in conflict, elements like dynamite and falling objects).

As a former English/language arts teacher, I will also call attention to the book’s wordplay. My favorite pun might be when the heroes walk into a saloon, encounter a table with cats all around, and one says: “Um…I need a drink right MEOW.” It is this kind of set-up that is a reminder that the book is meant to be fun. There is an element of nostalgia in the book for older readers, and an invitational nature of younger readers (the book’s most likely audience).

Bean draws in sweeping lines and the color choices are bright. Typographical choices punctuate the book with an additional layer of animated style. The book feels like a more static Saturday morning show, with a constant pause button that allows the reader to take in what the panels have to offer.

Is the book innovative in terms of comics? I am not sure that I can go that far. Is it entertaining? Yes, I can absolutely say that. Would I use it in the classroom? Again, yes to this question. Bean even includes some factual elements at the end of the book for readers who want to know more.

Of final note, I will return to the idea that the book (or ones can like) can simply entertain, and that this is enough. Bean includes an author note at the beginning, reminding the reader that the book was created during the COVID-19 pandemic. The author writes, “I laughed, I cried, and I escaped in creating this book,” before wishing the reader the same experience. I would say, in this and more, the book succeeds.

Comics in National Building Museum's CANstruction competition

 by Bruce Guthrie

I spent much of Sunday at the National Building Museum watching the CANstruction event.

As the sponsoring group AIA | DC (the Washington Architectural Foundation) explains it:

Canstruction is a nationwide program that aims to raise awareness about hunger. In DC, Canstruction is organized by the Washington Architectural Foundation as a creative design-build competition that benefits the Capital Area Food Bank through donations of canned goods. Teams from architecture and design firms from Washington, DC use their skills to build sculptures out of cans of food. The nutritious shelf-stable food is donated to the CAFB for distribution to those in need after the event.

This year's theme was Children's Books and each structure highlighted a different book.

This year, there were 21 teams competing here in DC.  They've used all the normal state-of-the-art design tools to come up with their sculptures made of cans.  The structure with the fewest cans used 891 of them.   The most complicated used 5,942.  

The rules include that they can't start working with the cans until 12 noon and they have to be done by 6pm.  I spent 1-3/4 hours photographing before going to lunch, coming back an hour later to find that several teams had already finished.  Three teams were still working until 5:30 or so and one finished just before 6pm.  I left with the last team.

Two were directly influenced by comics -

  * Charles Schulz ("Peanuts" -- Snoopy on his doghouse with Woodstock on his chest

  * Joe Simon and Jack Kirby (Captain America's shield)

Your only chance to see these pieces, other than through my photos, is in person this Friday to Monday (the NBM is only open four days a week).  Then they're gone.  I suspect a few of them will collapse before the end of the show.  

If you've never been to the National Building Museum, it's well worth the trip.  The installation is located in the main hall of the museum building and it's free to see them.  Their regular exhibits are described on https://www.nbm.org/exhibitions/current/ .  I really liked the "Gun Violence Memorial Project" (also free) and "Animals, Collected" ones. The museum is next to the National Law Enforcement Memorial and is directly across from the entrance to one of the Judiciary Square stops.

I took too many photos (and have to come back and take more for the signs I missed) and had to divide them into four separate pages.  If you want to see all 750-ish of them, try this link:

http://www.bguthriephotos.com/graphlib.nsf/(Merge)?OpenAgent&merge=DC_Canstruction_211121&opt=event

The complete list (as they line up on the floor):

 * Andrea Beaty ("Rosie Revere, Engineer")
 * Ezra Jack Keats ("The Snowy Day")
 * Andrea Beaty ("Iggy Peck, Architect")
 * Frank Baum (the Emerald City from "The Wizard of Oz")
 * Sonica Ellis ("Kindness Rocks")
 * Ludwig Bemelmans ("Madeline")
 * E.B. White ("Charlotte's Web")
 * Alice Schertle ("Little Blue Truck")
 * Dr. Seuss ("Oh, the Places You'll Go!")
 * Eric Carle ("The Very Hungry Caterpillar")
 * Dr. Seuss ("The Lorax")
 * Marcus Pfister ("The Rainbow Fish")
 * Fairy Tale ("Jack and the Beanstalk")
 * Charles Schulz ("Peanuts" -- Snoopy on his doghouse with Woodstock on his chest}
 * Norman Bridwell ("Clifford the Big Red Dog")
 * American folktale ("The Little Engine That Could" )
 * Lewis Carroll (a Cheshire Cat from the "Alice in Wonderland" series)
 * Dr. Seuss ("The Cat In The Hat")
 * Joe Simon and Jack Kirby (Captain America's shield)
 * Shel Silverstein ("The Giving Tree")
 * Laura Numeroff ("If You Give a Mouse a Cookie")

P&P Live! Ken Krimstein | WHEN I GROW UP with Paul Karasik

Nov 22, 2021

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJfNNGr_v34

From the prize-winning author of The Three Escapes of Hannah Arendt, a stunning graphic narrative of newly discovered stories from Jewish teens on the cusp of WWII.

Ken Krimstein has published cartoons in the New Yorker, Punch, the Wall Street Journal, and more. He is the author of The Three Escapes of Hannah Arendt, which won the Bernard J. Brommel Award for Biography and Memoir, and was a finalist for the Jewish Book Award and the Chautauqua Prize, and also of Kvetch as Kvetch Can.

Krimstein will be joined in conversation with, Paul Karasik, the co-author (along with David Mazzucchelli) of the perennial graphic novel classic City of Glass, adapted from Paul Auster's novel.
