"can be even worse than the monsters."" --from "Veterans"
Franklin fears his family is in danger from a fellow veteran he saved during the war.

Rachael Ingalls's richly drawn characters slip from the ordinary into the surreal with an elegance that can only come from a master of the form. Mostly set in the United States, the stories in "Times Like These" are available for the first time to American readers.

Mr. Putter and Tabby Pour the Tea by Cynthia Rylant, ISBN 0152009019
"The gentle, affecting first volume introduces elderly Mr. Putter, who decides that a cat will keep him from feeling lonely. Rylant's texts reflect admirable concern for brevity and meticulous consideration of every word. They are in perfect sync with Howard's expressive sketches, which slip abundant visual jokes into sunny, transparent watercolors and gouaches, and fluid pencil and pastel scribbles.
