Alum Falls Ohio. 'An original comic about growing up in the Fifties.'
A huge amount of work seems to have gone into it.
The more you read it and wander around, the more apparent this becomes. It really is a great site. Thanks, plep.
I couldn't stop reading the Watertower incident. Crazy kids.

That was really sweet (as in tender), plep. Thanks!

The more you read, the more intense it gets. Some parts are fully and fascinatingly annotated, too—wow.

We previously discussed the wartime cartoons of Damon Rarey's father.

I really enjoyed this site. The story is told from the point of view of the journal of a teenage boy growing up in a mid-Western, mid-century American town, but it deals with much of the post-war American experience. The story, of course, can be enjoyed just for itself, without delving too deeply into history and politics. A huge amount of work seems to have gone into it.
Perhaps even more interesting than the journal itself is the life story of the site's author, who died last year. A World War II orphan, he was able to live through much of the American experience he writes about on the site.
