Lumberjanes, Vol. 1: Beware the Kitten Holy
by Grace Ellis, ND Stevenson, Shannon Watters
Such fun!!! I only wish Vol. 2 were already available (though I could possibly read the individual comics themselves, though maybe only through Comixology or something like that. But Vol. 2 comes out in a month so I could be persuaded to wait like a normal person :) ). I love all the quirky characters (Ripley is my fave) and the weird, supernatural mystery that's going on and can't wait to see how it resolves in the coming issues. I want to go back and read it again! (also I might actually buy this one for myself. Gah! Writers, stop making such excellent books that I want to own them forever even though I don't have the space for them! Just kidding, never do that in a million years, I'll just have stacks and stacks of books everywhere :) ).
Also the "Oh my [insert name here]" and "Holy [insert name here]" references were so awesome and peaked my interest so much that I had to go and look up who each person was. So here goes:
Bessie Coleman: "She was the first female pilot of African American descent and the first person of African-American descent to hold an international pilot license."
Mae Jemison: "is an American physician and NASA astronaut. She became the first African American woman to travel in space when she went into orbit aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour on September 12, 1992."
Phillis Wheatley: "was the first published African-American woman and first published African-American poet."
Anahareo: "Gertrude Moltke Bernard, CM, also known as Anahareo, (June 18, 1906 – June 17, 1986) was a Mohawk writer, animal rights activist and conservationist. She is perhaps best known for influencing writer Grey Owl (born Archibald Belaney) to become one of Canada's first public conservationist campaigners."
Juliette Gordon Low: "was the founder of Girl Scouts of the USA, with the help of Sir Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of the Scouting Movement. Baden-Powell and Low shared both a love of travel and support of the Girl Guides. Juliette Low joined the Girl Guide movement, forming a group of Girl Guides in Scotland in 1911. In 1912 she returned to the U.S., forming the first American Girl Guide troop in Savannah, Georgia, that year. In 1915 the United States' Girl Guides became known as the Girl Scouts, and Juliette Gordon Low was the first president. She stayed active until the time of her death."
(all info from Wikipedia. Yes I could've used a better source but I just needed the basics in a fast-ish manner. Also I hope I didn't miss any but I was just going back through really quick to try and find them all)
