Trollope
Two for this Friday:
Bo-Nanas by John Kovaleski
Piranha Club by Bud Grace
In Thursday's Prickly City, I mistook the squiggly rectangle thing in the scribbly girl's hands for a book, and mis-read "trollop" as "Trollope."
For a day there, I thought Scott Stantis was making a clever literary reference and a statement about how our culture forces children to read maudlin 19th century fiction too early in life.
But, oh well:
That rectangle thing is a doll, and Stantis is just using our grandmothers' word for slut.

I could've sworn there was an SPP in Friday's Nancy- but I'm sure there's one today.
I too assumed that was a book in Prickly City, and had no idea anyone uses the word "Trollop" anymore- let alone a 8 year old conservative black girl.
She's black?
