help me! cities and comics question

Mar 15, 2007 10:22

well, you probably can't help just yet.


my computer underwent some massive attack yesterday. my bf's Dell crashed at work, too, and news is Microsoft once again released a patch so bad who needs errors, and it let in a bunch of viruses. i think that happened. i accidentally killed my computer by trying to reload the memory, and now they tell me they have to replace the motherboard. the motherboard! it's gendered!
so, currently, i'm on a generous friend's Mac. i am so buying a Mac as soon as i get one million dollars. not because it makes me a hot hardcore dissident-- Apple is running a serious counterhegemony over here, first iTunes and then the frakking iPhone-- but because i'm not trying to deal with this nonsense.

anyway, what i really need is a rec to comics about cities. i'm teaching an Urban Cultures course this summer and i don't know what to assign... i'm thinking i'll have them read Saskia Sassen and the new *incredibly hot* Selling the Race by Adam Green, but besides that i'm at a loss. i want the theme to be "cities and cultural production," or like, "cities and consumption" or "American cities and worldly desires" or something cool that the kids will like.
kids still like comics, right?
well, they're not kids, that's ageist. they're young adults. something the young adults will like.
