Persepolis!

Went to the College Park comic shop again today (it's changed names again ... I neglected to ask how much the t-shirts were with the new logo, but they were pretty sweet). Been reading the one-volume English edition of Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi, and just wanted to type a quote. Double-space indicates panel boundary.

Marjane: We Iranians are the Olympic champions when it comes to gossip.

Dad: She's right. We love to exaggerate.

Mom: You seem to have the opposite symptom.
Dad: Why do you say that?

Mom: Even when you see something with your own eyes, you need confirmation from the BBC.
Dad: My natural optimism just leads me to be skeptical.


(Of course, much of Persepolis is much less lighthearted. It takes place in modern Iran - it is a place of much sadness.)
