Read the Lynda Barry archives.
A big thank-you for including Lynda Barry's work again! "One Hundred Demons" was my first real taste of her brilliant (and, as it turns out, quite addictive!) work. She's such an original talent. It is a real credit to your excellent taste and discernment that you've made a commitment to show her stuff.
When the demons flew away, I was really surprised at how much I missed her work and went out to find her books. So I thank you for turning me on to her -- and for continuing to supply the good stuff.

Thank you for running a weekly Lynda Barry comeek. I have been without her inspired work since the Seattle Weekly (spelled "Weakly" locally) dropped her after something like 18 years.
I loved the "One Hundred Demons" series and look forward to more.
Kudos to Salon for giving this talented artist international exposure!!

Lynda's back!!
God, I knew I'd miss her but I didn't know it would be this bad. I've had to go back and read all her "One Hundred Demons" archives a couple of times.
Nobody can evoke so much in just a few panels.
Thanks for leaning on her, Salon!
-- A big fan in Dayton
Lynda Barry is a national treasure. She should commission herself to make a statue of herself and put it in downtown Evanston, replete with the way she draws her nose. Thanx.

Lynda breaks my heart on a regular basis. This big fag would love to have your babies!!

I love Lynda Barry. Please do not let Lynda Barry go away ever again.
The July 20 strip was just the greeting card I needed this morning. I, too, know the pleasures of giving up on stupid parties so I could stay home to read a good book about coelacanths.
Give my best to one of my soul mates. And my best to all of you at Salon. You're the greatest (no matter what the Screeching Chimps at Free Republic say).
Thank you.
-- George Peterson
I just wanted to thank Salon for bringing Lynda Barry's comeeks back. Her illustrated stories keep me from jumping out of my office window each week. Thanks again!
