Umorismo a fumetti
After losing his legand his trademark helmetB.D. returns home from Iraq to begin a remarkable journey of healing in this Doonesbury book.
On a road outside Fallujah, an RPG blows apart a Humvee and upends the life of a former football star named B.D. As a medevac chopper swoops down, the wounded Guardsman hears "Not your time, bro. Not today". The Long Road Home: One Step at a Time chronicles seven months of cutting-edge cartooning, during which B.D.and readers of the stripexperienced the kind of personal transformation no one seeks.
B.D. survives first-response Baghdad triage, evacuation to Landstuhl, and visits by innumerable celebs, both red and blue in hue. He's awed in turn by morphine, take-no-guff nurses, his fellow amps, high-tech prostheses that cost more than luxury cars, and his family, including the daughter who hand-delivers succor, one aspirin at a time.
From rebuilding tissue to rebuilding social skills to rebuilding lives, B.D's inspiring, insightful, and darkly humorous story confirms that it can take a village, or at least a ward, to raise a soldier when he's gone down. "Thank you for getting blown up," offers one of B.D.'s visiting players. Replies the coach, "Just doing my job."
