It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Miracles of the Jungle.

There's something amazing in Muir's ability to make something that is supposed to be nothing happening feel like an extra level of nothing, filler that seems astonishingly free of actual content. It's a bad kind of amazing, but it's still amazing.
Have to disagree with the “wooden”characterization.
ReplyDeleteWood tends to hold its shape instead of morphing and melting all over the place.
Muir’s characters are more like those blobs inside a lava lamp.
I was thinking more of Muir's lack of talent for conveying motion in drawing, producing an endless array of static poses. The vagaries of language means that Muir's drawings can be both gelatinous and stiff at the same time.
DeleteAnd isn't that another entry for the bad kind of amazing book?
