An insightful comic strip filled with edgy dialogue and thoroughly modern situations, Candorville: Thank God for Culture Clash by Darrin Bell is made for today's world. It fearlessly covers bigotry, poverty, homelessness, biracialism, personal responsibility, and more while never losing sight of the humor behind these weighty issues. The strip targets the socially conscious by tackling tough issues with irony, satire, and humor. Candorville: Thank God for Culture Clash celebrates diversity by poking a little fun at it.

More About the Author

I was born in a small shack behind my grandfather's house in South Central Los Angeles. As a small child, I had a habit of constantly asking "why?" - a habit I've never seemed to shake.

I was educated in the best public schools in Los Angeles. Nevertheless, I was admitted to U.C. Berkeley, where I graduated with a B.A. in Political Science (with a minor in procrastination). I held several odd jobs (mostly as an on-campus security guard) to pay my way through college, while at the same time freelancing editorial cartoons to the LA Times, SF Chronicle, Oakland Tribune and other papers.

Yadda yadda yadda, I now live in Hollywood, CA; where I create the syndicated comic strip "Candorville," and co-create the syndicated strip "Rudy Park."

This review is from: Candorville: Thank God for Culture Clash (Paperback)
I bought this book because of its interesting cover ,not expecting too much from it.But I had a pleasant surprise as I started going through it.The author shows a lot of promise.This book covers a lot of social issues prevalent in our world today.Definitely thought provoking.......The beauty of this book is how some of these serious issues are presented in such a hilarious manner.I really liked the character of Clyde
[C-dog].The author has co-authored another comic book series called Rudy Park,I look forward to reading that too.
Recommended if you are looking for something both intelligent and funny.

5.0 out of 5 stars Newer cartoonist w/ potential greatness, December 29, 2005
By 
Lou "battlecatsudi" (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Candorville: Thank God for Culture Clash (Paperback)
A funny collection of comic strips that threaten you to think about social issues in this country without the all the anger. I really love the main characters Lemont, C-Dog, and Susan who seem to evolve w/ each page. I am already inpatiently awaiting the next book of adventures. The romantic tension between Lemont and Susan is obvious, however, I find their tolerence of C-Dog more than a little interesting. Anyway this is an intelligent social issue comic strip that doesn't quite jump in your face like Boondocks, but will try to speak to you just the same.

This review is from: Candorville: Thank God for Culture Clash (Paperback)
I've enjoyed "Candorville" since it appeared in the Washington Post circa 2003. Darrin Bell has a sharp sense of humor and a keen eye for social as well as political absurdities. His strip isn't just perceptive, it's very, very funny.
