Another Stereotype Bites the Dustis creator Darrin Bell's secondCandorvillecollection. In this thought-provoking strip Bell uses a diverse group of friends to paint a real yet humorous portrait of inner-city America. An educated underachiever, Lemont Brown is an aspiring writer. Socially conscious, he wants to work at changing the world and infusing it with wisdom and justice'if only he could pay his rent. Lemont's childhood friend Susan Garcia is a book-smart and street savvy Mexican-American woman who won't let bigotry or any glass ceiling keep her down. And Lemont's friend Clyde (aka "C-Dog") is a streetwise thug and undiscovered rapper who'd rather mooch off his mother than get a job.Another Stereotype Bites the Dustdeals with some tough issues'poverty, homelessness, racism, and personal responsibility'with knowing irony and incisive satire. Bell uses edgy dialogue and modern situations to jab everything from political correctness to political spinning, from political hindsight to office politics, making it a hit among socially aware 20- and 30-somethings.Syndicated by the Washington Post Writers Group,Candorvilleappears in theLos AngelesTimes, Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, Detroit Free Press, andAl Dia(Dallas Morning News Spanish edition), and many other major newspapers.Bell, Darrin is the author of 'Another Stereotype Bites the Dust A Candorville Collection' with ISBN 9780740760419 and ISBN 0740760416.
