1 In the “Pet Peeves” comic strip collection “More Social Than Distant,” the Peeves family of anthropomorphic dogs grapples with masking, quarantine, and social distancing. – Courtesy/Dave London When Boston-area artist Dave London and I first created the comic strip “Pet Peeves” in 2016, our main goal was to elicit some relatable chuckles — telling a story beyond “family of dogs does funny stuff” wasn’t really on the agenda. Then we found ourselves in a pandemic. That’s when we decided that maybe it was time to take a cue from some of the comics artists we admired who’d really elevated the art form — artists like Alison Bechdel, whose graphic memoir “The Secret to Superhuman Strength” is the latest pick in the Boston.com Book Club. Hence “More Social Than Distant,” the new Pet Peeves book, which collects the adventures of three generations of the Peeves family as they deal with such atypical comic strip subjects as masking, social distancing, bubble-forming and quarantining. It’s funny, we hope, in the way that life is funny — in spite of it all.

Think of the popularity of Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop brand, which has grown into an empire complete with a TV show and a series of books, all promoting the idea that well-being can be purchased. The genius of Lee’s novel is in how it reveals the unhealthiness of that idea, exposing our exorbitant, unending appetite to consume.
How Alison Bechdel’s latest novel tackles ‘what it means to be a human being’ Tod Gross of Phoenix Books talks author Alison Bechdel, the transcendence of reading, and coming of age in the disco era.

A buddy of his got a job at the Philadelphia-area outpost of the late Encore Books and hired Gross part time. “It was back before any Internet, so the little town I was in had probably eight bookstores,” he said. “I just really fell in love with putting the right book in someone’s hand.”
