FFF Results Post #227—Fanta
On Friday
CR readers were asked to "Name Five Favorite Projects/Books From Fantagraphics Not By Charles Schulz, Los Bros, Chris Ware, Dan Clowes Or Peter Bagge." This is how they responded.
*****
please note that while I was nice this week, I have no problem deleting entries with non-answer answers, or answers that strain against the parameters that everyone else is following, and will usually do so. Also, you have to have your answers in on Friday; I wish I had the time to constantly update posts with stragglers, but I don't. Sorry!
