Great Plains collection
receives new additions
By Jeff Randall
Staff Reporter
Students now have a chance to
take a look at some new additions to
the Great Plains Art Collection. •
“New and Renewed Directions:
Recent Additions to the Permanent
Collection” opened March 7 and will
continue showing through April 28 at
the Great Plains Art Collection. The
collection features various examples
of Great Plains heritage revealed
through historical and contemporary
art.
The recent acquisitions are made
available through gifts from private
donors and purchases made with funds
raised by the Friends of the Center for
Great Plains Studies.
A reception in honor of the donors
and artists represented in the exhibit
will be held Sunday at 3:30 p.m.
Paintings, drawings, prints, pho
tographs and sculptures are repre
sented. Works from the 19th century
are being shown alongside those of
more recent artists.
Among these are engravings by
Karl Bodmer, a lithograph by John
James Audobon and an oil painting
by George Simons. Landscape art by
Keith Jacobshagen, Ann Burkholder,
Dale Livezey, Deborah J. Murphy
and Lamont Richards will also be
•shown.
Cultural diversity is one of the
exhibit’s main features. Paintings by
Native Americans Laurie Houseman
Whitehawk and Chris Musgrave are
being shown.
New approaches to the typical
western and Great Plains subjects are
as common in the exhibit as the more
conventional treatments.
The Great Plains Art Collection is
located in Room 205 of Love.Li
brary. It is open Monday through
Friday from 9:30 ajn. to 5 p.m. and
Sunday from 1:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. It is
closed on Saturdays.
Journal like brownies—good
“I Made Some Brownies and
They Were Pretty Good”
the third “Jim's Journal” collec
tion
Jim Andrews and McMeel Books
Grade: B
Jim wakes up. Jim goes to work
in the copy shop. Jim takes a nap.
■-1
Jim nas a cat
and some
friends. Jim
goes to bed.
That’s a plot
summary of “I
Made Some
Brownies and
They Were
Pretty Good,”
the third col
lection of
“Jim s Journal comic strips.
“Jim’s Journal” is hard to ex
plain. Jim is a normal guy with a
normal — maybe even more bor
ing than normal — life. His comic
strip contains no punch lines, no
hilarious characters and precious
little action.
For example, this is the full text
in one “Jim’s Journal” strip: “I just
sat around today and didn’t do
much of anything. It was kind of
rainy outside. I thought of taking a
nap, but I wasn’t very tired. So I
just sat around and didn’t do much
of anything.”
All of the strips are narrated by
Jim in journal form. Now this
sounds boring. And it is some
times. One strip, by itself, is very
boring. However, a collection of
“Jim’s Journals” is entertaining.
Jim’s Journal is entertaining in
the same way that life is entertain
ing. Funny things don’t happen in
convenient fashion — set-up,
punch line, roaring laughter. Funny
things happen every once in a
while, and sometimes they’re only
funny if you really know the char
acters. And you laugh, but prob
ably not out loud. You just think,
“Hey, that was funny.”
Jim’s loser friend, Tony, pro
vides most of the book’s mental
laughs. Through Jim’s eyes, the
reader sees that Tony is all talk —
that he’s lazy and pretty irrespon
sible. Jim never says it, but he
makes a note of all the lame things
Tony does. So when Tony wants to
quit his job at the shoe store for a
more lucrative job in another shoe
store, the reader, knowing Tony,
laughs.
But like life, “Jim’s Journal” is
also sometimes sad. Tony is just
like the loser friend that everyone
has in real life. Sometimes you
laugh at him, and sometimes you
feel sorry for him.
“Jim’s Journal” does not offer
page after page of easy laughs. But
it’s a thoughtful, humane comic
strip.
