Sikoryak tackles the monstrously and infamously dense legal document, iTunes Terms and Conditions, the contract everyone agrees to but no one reads. In a word for word 94-page adaptation, Sikoryak hilariously turns the agreement on its head - each page features an avatar of Apple cofounder and legendary visionary Steve Jobs juxtaposed with a different classic strip such as Mort Walker's Beatle Bailey, or a contemporary graphic novel such as Craig Thompson's Blankets or Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis. Adapting the legalese of the iTunes Terms and Conditions into another medium seems like an unfathomable undertaking, yet Sikoryak creates a surprisingly readable document, far different from its original, purely textual incarnation and thus proving the accessibility and flexibility of comics. When Sikoryak parodies Kate Beaton's Hark A Vagrant peasant comics with Steve Jobs discussing objectionable material or Homer Simpson as Steve Jobs warning of the penalties of copyright infringement, Terms and Conditions serves as a surreal record of our modern digital age where technology competes with enduringly ironclad mediums."--]]></description><link>https://carmangay.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C2332093</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://carmangay.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C2332093</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sikoryak, R.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://carmangay.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2332093040</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Graphic Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781770462748/MC.GIF&amp;client=chinookarch&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Making of Another Major Motion Picture Masterpiece]]></title><description><![CDATA["From the Academy Award-winning actor and best-selling author: his debut novel.

Won't you be my neighbor? For more than thirty years, Fred Rogers was a beloved fixture in American homes. Warm and welcoming, he spoke directly to children-and their parents-about the marvels of the world, the things that worried them, and above all, the importance of being themselves. Dressed in his cardigan and sneakers, Fred Rogers offered a wholesome message of generosity and love that changed the landscape of television and shaped a generation of children. Kindness and Wonder pays tribute to this cultural icon: the unique, gentle man who embodied the best of what we could be. Today's audiences will be reminded of Mr. Rogers's uplifting persona in the upcoming TriStar Pictures film A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (November 2019), where Tom Hanks stars as the real-life Fred Rogers. Looking back at the history of the show and the creative visionary behind it, pop culture aficionado Gavin Edwards reminds us of the indelible lessons and insights that Mister Rogers conveyed-what it means to be a good person, to be open-hearted, to be thoughtful, to be curious, to be compassionate-and why they matter. Beautifully crafted, infused with Mister Rogers' gentle spirit, and featuring dozens of interviews with people whose lives were touched by Fred Rogers-ranging from Rita Moreno to NFL Hall of Famer Lynn Swann-Kindness and Wonder is a love letter to this unforgettable cultural hero and role model, and the beautiful neighborhood he created"--]]></description><link>https://carmangay.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C2984901</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://carmangay.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C2984901</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Edwards, Gavin]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://carmangay.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2984901040</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Why Mister Rogers Matters Now More Than Ever</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780062950741/MC.GIF&amp;client=chinookarch&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The World According to Tom Hanks]]></title><link>https://carmangay.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C2717803</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://carmangay.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C2717803</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Edwards, Gavin]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://carmangay.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2717803040</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Life, the Obsessions, the Good Deeds of America&apos;s Most Decent Guy</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781538712207/MC.GIF&amp;client=chinookarch&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Tao of Bill Murray]]></title><link>https://carmangay.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C2083253</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://carmangay.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C2083253</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Edwards, Gavin]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2016 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://carmangay.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2083253040</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Real-life Stories of Joy, Enlightenment, and Party Crashing</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780812998702/MC.GIF&amp;client=chinookarch&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
