Fab 4 Mania
Fab 4 Mania | Carol Tyler
1 post
Critically acclaimed cartoonist Carol Tyler recreates the exhilaration and excitement of Beatlemania at its height in 1965, her personal obsession with the Beatles, and her odyssey that leads her to the famous Beatles Chicago concert later that year. Told in the voice of its 13-year-old author, Fab 4 Mania is a facsimile of the diary that she kept throughout 1965, and is brimming with rich period details, humor, and insight. Its a look into the life of a teenager from a working-class family whose love of music awakens her senses and opens her up to the world beyond that of small-town Fox Lake, Illinois. It is also about the Beatles, as seen through the eyes of a young, giddy teenager and a reflective, adult artist, and the joy the band gives.

I thought this was funny because I‘ve asked Millie who her favorite Beatle is, and she grunted when I said “John?”

Poor Mills has reached senior age and is starting to have trouble jumping on the couch. She has no interest in figuring out how to use the stairs we bought years ago for her to get on my bed. For now, we‘re helping her get a leg (or 4) up when she wants to. I‘m so anxious thinking of her aging.
