So I think “sequential art” might be the most accurate description here and I noticed that a lot of reviewers already put it in that genre which is great! =)Īs for the story itself: I loved it! Elsie and Jimmy are so adorable and I loved the black humour. Because of this the pacing is pretty fast and it seems like they jump right into their relationship and push the “fast forward” button instead of taking it slow. This was no story with a central theme but rather little snippets of Elsie’s and Jimmy’s story that starts when they meet in a bar. ![]() So first things first: I know this is titled as a webcomic, but I think this might not be the right description for “Fangs”.

Salinger demonstrates his admirable ear for teenage dialogue in these stories. In “The Young Folks,” however, the adolescents resemble the insensitive schoolmates of Holden Caulfield more than they resemble Holden himself. Many of these stories are concerned with adolescents. Salinger’s early stories contain elements foreshadowing his later work. Children have a wisdom and a spontaneity that is lost in the distractions and temptations of adult life. Like William Wordsworth, Salinger appreciates childhood innocence. The love for children occurs frequently in his stories-for example, the love for Esmé, Phoebe, and Sybil. Some of these characters cannot adjust to the military, some have unhappy marital relationships, and others are unsuccessful in both areas. Many of his stories have wartime settings and involve characters who have served in World War II. A sense of loss, especially the loss of a sibling, recurs frequently. There is a failure of communication between people: between husbands and wives, between soldiers in wartime, between roommates in schools. ![]() They see the phoniness, egotism, and hypocrisy around them. ![]() Salinger ( Janu– January 27, 2010), neurotic and sensitive people, search unsuccessfully for love in a metropolitan setting. ![]() ![]() ![]() If such material offends you, please do not purchase.
