Many older people start to feel invisible, and I think this sort of thing leads to that. For many people, this is probably overthinking a "funny" comic strip, but we can all think back to some of the old comics that portrayed African-American or Native Americans in a less than flattering light, with the intent of being "funny". If we saw them now, we'd be appalled.
So, I won't be buying any Maxine...even though I chuckle when one is put in front of me...I still work hard to train my mind about the long-term effects of this sort of humor. |
Just got the shipping notification from Robert Kaufman... Maxine is on its way to us... so she should also be shipping to other stores now, too!
|
Thanks for the heads up!
|
I love the BLAH, BLAH, BLAH!!! Could hang it on my sons bedroom door. 17 yr olds!

Just found the Maxine fabric here in St. Louis! It is a hoot, and I love the blah, blah, blah! Great for sashing!
|
I think Maxine is a hoot -
The fabric looks like it would be hard to work with - the panels/cartoons are unevenly sized and not in a line - |
I think I am going to separate the pictures and use them on bags. Will have to see what I can get to! Some of the fabric is made so it is easy to cut apart.
|
I don't think I would but it, it might appeal to others tho
|
I'm a sucker for Maxine. I just bought a panel the other day. Saw a picture on here for a purse but I can't find it again now that I have the fabric. Can anyone help me find it please?
|
I will definatelly be purchasing some of this fabric!!!!!
|
I LOVE MAXINE & WILL BE BUYING THAT TO MAKE A COUPLE OF BOW TUCKS FOR FRIEND & FOR ME :)
|
I love some of the sayings.
|
MaxineB, I have used that same comment so many times!!! I look at her as my alter-ego! :D Can't wait to buy some of the fabric.
