![]() Daring and bizarre, Toad demonstrates her genius for black humor and her ecstatic celebration of the grotesque. It is filled with the same mordant observations about the darkest aspects of human nature that made Geek Love a cult classic and Dunn a misfit hero. Self-deprecating and sardonic, Sally recounts their misadventures, up to the tragedy that tore them apart.Ĭolorful, crass, and profound, Toad is Katherine Dunn’s ode to her time as a student at Reed College in the late 1960s. There was Sam, an unabashed collector of other people’s stories Carlotta, a troubled free spirit and Rennel, a self-obsessed philosophy student. She broods over her deepest regrets: her blighted romances with self-important men, her lifelong struggle to feel at home in her own body, and her wayward early twenties, when she was a fish out of water among a group of eccentric, privileged young people at a liberal arts college. Her only companions are a vase of goldfish, a garden toad, and the door-to-door salesman who sells her cleaning supplies once a month. ![]() She spends her days alone at home, reading drugstore mysteries, polishing the doorknobs, waxing the floors.

Martin has played in various bands, written a Tank Girl novel ( Armadillo) published in March 2008 by Titan Books, as well as various screenplays and scripts. The strip was not published, and marked the end of their partnership.Īfter the film, Martin wandered around for a bit, staying at communes with hippie friends, looking for stone circles and ancient sites before settling in Berwick-upon-Tweed in Northumberland with his wife Lou and two children Wynne and Rufus Bodie (named after Lewis Collins' character in The Professionals). After Deadline folded, Martin and Hewlett attempted to create another strip together called The 16s, which he described as a across between Tank Girl and Peanuts. Martin and Hewlett spoke poorly of the experience, with Martin calling it "a bit of a sore point" for them. The film featured Lori Petty as Tank Girl and Naomi Watts as Jet Girl. In 1995, the comic was also adapted into a critically and financially unsuccessful film. ![]() ![]() Learn about the major environmental problems facing our planet and what can be done about them! ![]() ![]() Saving Earth Britannica Presents Earth’s To-Do List for the 21st Century.100 Women Britannica celebrates the centennial of the Nineteenth Amendment, highlighting suffragists and history-making politicians.COVID-19 Portal While this global health crisis continues to evolve, it can be useful to look to past pandemics to better understand how to respond today.Student Portal Britannica is the ultimate student resource for key school subjects like history, government, literature, and more. ![]() This Time in History In these videos, find out what happened this month (or any month!) in history.#WTFact Videos In #WTFact Britannica shares some of the most bizarre facts we can find.Demystified Videos In Demystified, Britannica has all the answers to your burning questions. ![]() Britannica Classics Check out these retro videos from Encyclopedia Britannica’s archives.Britannica Explains In these videos, Britannica explains a variety of topics and answers frequently asked questions. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The UDC’s reasons for the monument are instructive. The monument was given to the Federal Government by the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC), which raised the funds to erect it. Thus it claims that Missouri, Kentucky, and Maryland were part of the Confederacy. In its design it also tells wrong history, boasting fourteen shields with the coat of arms of fourteen states. It was also intended as a symbol of white nationalism, portrayed in opposition to the multiracial democracy of Reconstruction, and a celebration of the re-establishment of white supremacy in the former slave states by former Confederate soldiers. The speeches at its ground-breaking and dedication defended and held up as glorious the Confederacy and the ideas behind it and stated that the monument was to these ideals as well as the dead.
