![]() ![]() has gone bust and Forrest is flat broke, sweeping floors in a New Orleans strip joint and trying to raise his son, little Forrest, who needs his father more than ever. The lovable man for all ages, who captured America's heart in the #1 bestselling novel Forrest Gump and in the blockbuster film, returns in the long-awaited sequel to the book hailed by Larry King as "the funniest novel I have ever read." A little older, and wiser in his own unique way, he is still running through the kaleidoscopic events of our times - and straight into the age of greed and instant gratification known as the 1980s. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() Increasing ocean noise levels from human activities are also a concern since the noise may interfere with right whale communication and increase their stress levels. Entanglement in fishing gear and vessel strikes are the leading causes of North Atlantic right whale mortality. (They got their name from being the "right" whales to hunt because they floated when they were killed.) Whaling is no longer a threat, but they have never recovered to pre-whaling numbers, and human interactions still present the greatest danger to this species. Right whales are baleen whales, feeding on copepods (tiny crustaceans) by straining huge volumes of ocean water through their baleen plates, which act like a sieve.īy the early 1890s, commercial whalers had hunted North Atlantic right whales to the brink of extinction. Two other species of right whales exist: the North Pacific right whale, which is found in the North Pacific Ocean, and the Southern right whale, which is found in the southern hemisphere. The North Atlantic right whale is one of the world’s most endangered large whale species the latest preliminary estimate suggests there are fewer than 350 remaining. ![]() ![]() ![]() Ware, who is a guest at the Brooklyn Comics and Graphics Festival this Saturday in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, spoke with CBR News about his latest project.Ĭhris Ware's "Building Stories" is available nowĬhris Ware: The story started as a series of one-shot strips in 2001 for a Swiss magazine named "Hangar 21," the regular requirement of which was that each be lettered in both French and German. ![]() Instead of a single volume, it is a collection of pamphlets and books telling a nonlinear story centered around a small apartment building and its residents. His new book, more than a decade in the making, is "Building Stories." Calling this project a 'book' is perhaps misleading. Since then, Ware has continued creating comics while working as an illustrator and cover artist for many publications, most notably "The New Yorker." Ware has designed everything from book covers (Penguin Books' edition of "Candide" by Voltaire) and album covers to movie posters ("Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives"), while producing animations for the television series "This American Life." The artist's work has been featured in a number of solo and group art exhibitions, and he was invited to exhibit in the 2002 Biennial at the Whitney Museum of American Art. ![]() |
