One Hundred Demons
In this graphic novel that's part memoir and part creativity primer, Lynda Barry serves up comics that delve into the funk and sweetness of love, family, adolescence, race, and the hood. Name that Demon!!! Freaky boyfriends! Shouting Moms! Innocence betrayed! These are some of the pickled demons you'll meet as Lynda Barry mixes the true and the un-true into something she calls "autobificitionalography." From her nattering and intolerant/loving Filipina grandmother to the ex-boyfriend from hell who had lice, Lynda Barry's demons jump out of these pages and double-dare you to speak their names. Called by Time magazine "a work of art as well as literature," One Hundred Demons has been hailed for its shimmering watercolor images and unforgettable stories about life's little monsters.

In my dreams of teenage trauma prophylaxis Kathleen Hanna hands me Pussy Whipped and this book as a 13 year old, before I lose my virginity. Avenue D is playing in the background: "Shit, you know they all just want to hit it./They're just talking shit 'cos they want it," which, although nobody will prank call my house at 3am to call me a slut for a couple years, is a revelation that rings true.
I come out of adolescence unscathed.

This book is the bomb and Lynda Barry is the bombalurina.
This book seems to be the crossroads, the point where she transformed from her perfectly incredible and delightful self, to the milk of human kindness filled, self-forgiving, fully honest role model and teacher that she is today. You can feel it.
A lot of things I'd been hunching about were confirmed herein.
The last story, about the monkey head stationery was very sweet, and made me happy for lynda.
Matt Groening may be funk lord of the universe, but his friend is something even more special.

This is the best thing I've read in ages and I am sorely tempted to just start right back over and read the whole thing again right now.
November 2016 reread:
Joe got me this from Quimby's in late July last year when I flew out there to roadtrip back to New York with him which was our like sixth date or something maybe? Which tbpf I am not that charmed by stories of Going! Way! Romantically! Overboard! too early in the game, mainly because I tend to blow all my chunks early on as a sort of matter of course and then later I am like wait a minute what the jeff. Which I guess is a pretty common move but now I get to feel superior and adult about seeing through it but whatEVER point being this BOOK MOTHERFUCKING RULES AS HELL.
Like this book is in the tiny pantheon of Perfect Graphic Memoirs, wedged in there on the miniature golden shelf with Are You My Mother? and The Story of My Tits, and I started rereading it the other night because I am about fourteen jillion different kinds of fucked up right now with all the absolutely over-the-top bummer shit I've had to figure out how to process while trying to also process all the absolutely over-the-top magnificently happy splendid jesus fucking christ all my dreams are coming true before my very eyes and I spend my time driving through the Catskills just PUNCHING MYSELF IN THE LEG and screamcrying with absolute unfettered insane grateful dumbfounded JOY, plus leaving this place and this job where I have been so happy and loved so many people and come to know myself in a way that makes it seem possible I might not have to die as scum, resigned to it as my due . . .
Anyway so this book takes everything that's in me and yanks it out like it's a fuckn casserole in flames and then oh so gently lovingly anneals the crudloaded boiling wild shitefire and then blows white light across it till it shakes its rages and sorrows out and bends and gentles like long grass under a summer moon. I fucking love this book. I am so happy and it all just feels so possible. One million demons, even. And in the end a home for them all.
Safe and happy warm as roast. I think possibly maybe even me.

how stupid am I for not reading this before?! super stupid! It was awesome.
Highlights for me:
-"Common Scents" was hilarious.
-"Hate" was gratifying.
-The line, "This ability to exist in pieces is what some adults call resilience. And I suppose in some way it is a kind of resilience that makes adults believe children forget trauma" collapsed the chest of both my childhood self as well as my parental self.
-The dialog in "Lost and Found" with the arrow pointing to one woman, reading "super dramatically educated. knows about 'story structure' and 'arc' and 'plot points'" and the other arrow to her, reading, "jive-ass faker who can't spell and had no idea what 'story structure' even means" was both personally relevant and entertaining.

La reseña de mi primer cómic de Lynda Barry va a ser que me encanta Lynda Barry ya para siempre. Qué risas me he echado y qué tristeza he sentido. Cuánta sensibilidad para reflejar la lógica genial de la infancia, el loco desamparo de la adolescencia y la sabiduría que llega, eso parece, demasiado tarde.
«Cuando se habla de la resiliencia de los niños me encojo. Es la esperanza que tienen los adultos de la vida interior de un niño, que sea simple, que lo que se puede olvidar ya no nos afecte. Pero ¿qué es olvidar?».

I caught myself thinking about taking up a paintbrush and water colors while reading this so I could paint out my demons too. I really love the one about the aswang (a scary dog demon story that her grandma tells her interwoven with a bunch of mother-daughter stuff), Dancing---amazing amazing amazing---just think hula + suave uncles dancing the twist in the kitchen + dancing baby-madness in the morning + trying to befriend the coolest dancing girl in the world. "Sensitive nose" and "hate" and "magic" are up there for me too. If I was still a teacher, I would make sure I had a copy or two of this one around but it's good for us boring old adults too.

Bueno, este cómic es raro y hay algunas cosas que no entendí pero creo que no se merece menos de tres estrellas. Parece una reflexión sobre la vida de la autora que debe haberle costado bastante hacer porque hay algunas cosas durillas. A la vez, parece como una terapia para ella y nos anima a hacer el mismo ejercicio dándonos incluso información sobre el material que utiliza y la forma de usarlo. Algunos demonios serán compartidos con más gente y otros me parecen bastante personales.

Funny and poignant at times. Hard to tell which parts are real but I sensed some underlying pain in regards to the relationship between the author and her mother. I wished she had touched more this and growing up as a mixed child. She grew up with her Filipino mother but never mentions her father. The Filipino kids view her a strange due to her red hair, even being curious about whether she gets white lice versus their black lice and request that if she ever finds out she should mail them the evidence. She seems to not be a popular kid growing up but a lot of those inner demons are what seem to make her the person she is today. At least that is how it comes across since this is a "fictional memoir".
Love the coloring for each chapter and although the artwork is not the prettiest to look at, it fits the story. Nice, neat and large font. I have to mention the font, since I consider it an important element when it comes to the graphic format.

Can’t believe it took me this long to finally read Lynda Barry. 100% loved this. In a way it feels easy to over praise cause coming of age stuff is such extremely well tread ground but I would say almost no one has done it this well! I love the title I love the concept I love how the whole scrap book title pages for each strip give the whole thing this great psychological world. Rlly pumped to read more.

I really loved this! At first it feels like each section/chapter is stand-alone and separate from the others, but ultimately I found it all connected in really compelling ways. Lynda Barry is so fucking wise and shares her insights in a way that can be both funny and gut-wrenching. She always inspires me to make art and I can't wait to engage with more of her work!

It was so comforting for my inner child to read such vulnerable stories, she was not alone anymore ❤️ one of the best graphical novels I have read.
November 22, 2008
Synopsis
:NAME THAT DEMON!!! Freaky Boyfriends! Shouting Moms! Innocence betrayed! Rotten things we've done that will haunt us forever! These are some of the pickled demons Lynda Barry's storeis serve up comic-strip style, mixing the true and un-true into something she calles "autobifictionalography." Inspired by a 16th-century Zen monk's painting of a hundred demons chasing each other across a long scroll, and encouraged by a 20th-century editor, Barry's demons jump out of these pages and double-dare you to speak their names.
Review : Yes, it's a pretty intense graphic novel. But, not in the way that I'm used to graphic novels being intense. Part witty humor and part obvious therapy, Lynda Barry bravely addresses her multiple personal demons in one of the most passionate, self-effacing (yet proud) examples of "getting it all out in a creative manner" that I've seen in quite sometime. The great thing about this graphic novel is that while some of the story line will not connect with readers (as School Library Journal notes below) there is bound to be something--and yes, it's a
hideous "demon"--that will. And boy! Does it kind of sting like a glass of ice water tossed in your eyeballs when you see it sitting there in front of you, in full-color on the page. For me personally, the torturous pain of living through the nightmare that was Junior High (and, yes, sometimes Graduate School) just kicks into full gear in this book. Hence, I loved it! The ability to laugh at oneself cannot be too over-rated. Lynda Barry graciously laughs and then has enough energy left over to invite you with a step-by-step tutorial of how she did it. So that you too can create 100 demons all your very own! You'd think 100 would be a pretty large number. I'm finding out that it really isn't.
Critical Reviews :From Publishers Weekly, "simultaneously poignant and hilarious-never one at the expense of the other-and so are her loopy, sure-lined drawings, which make both the kids and the adults look as awkward and scrunched-up as they feel."From School Library Journal, "those who connect with it will come away with a deep appreciation for Barry." I appreciate Lynda Barry.

Lynda Barry confesses that she's not quite sure what to call this work: fiction? memoir? autofiction? autofictionbiography? At any rate, she admits that some things in the book are true and some fiction.
It doesn't matter what she calls it: it's a wonderful book.
It is the story of a young girl and all she faces: a semi-dysfunctional family, race issues, friendship issues (especially in middle school), death, sex, drugs, abuse, the many experiences of this girl's growing up. And, like life, it's sometimes funny, sometimes sad, sometimes very painful, but always, always interesting.
The book is divided into chapters that each deal with a particular demon, like death or first jobs (the two experiences seem to have a lot in common). The text is clear and easy to read and the illustrations are outstanding, full of life and energy. Barry recommends her art as a way to exorcising our personal demons (because everyone has them). At the end, she even has a brief "how-to" section explaining what materials to use and how to prepare and use them. Barry is, amongst other occupations, a teacher and she has a teacher's intense proclivity to instruct. Plus, she herself was a failure at school and even at art until she discovered her talent as a cartoonist. She wants to share the excitement of creativity with everyone so that we can all express our deepest fears, wishes, pain, and, maybe, joy.
This is a beautiful book, both in its pictures and its stories. I can't wait to read it again. Meanwhile, I'm reading everything else Barry has written. I can't wait.

WOW!!!!!!! Je suis flabergastée.
Drôle et triste et touchant et dur et léger et TOUTTEEEE. Graphiquement dans le même genre que Julie Doucet, mais pour ce qui est du contenu, on est vraiment ailleurs. Je ne m'attendais à rien au départ puisque je n'avais pas de coup de coeur pour ses illustrations, mais après quelques pages, j'étais prise au piège. J'ai même dû retarder mon souper de veille de Noël afin de la terminer. C'est peu dire.

Lynda Barry is a wonderfully charming author and comics artist! I love her art style. It's a cool mix of ink drawings and paper collage, giving off a unique sense of texture to each page. I'm not sure if anyone else has seen Crashbox (an HBO stop-motion animated show that I adored as a kid), but I find Barry's visuals to be very similar. Definitely put me into the mood for a rewatch.
One! Hundred! Demons! is evocative of all the angst and awkwardness expected in coming-of-age narratives, but Barry's unique brand of humor really makes the story come alive. Although the episodic nature of the chapters makes this book easy to dip in and out of, I did find myself longing for a stronger overarching tie between each section. Not too much of a detrimental factor, but enough for me to not rate this higher, unfortunately.

I first read this comic on salon.com when I was 24, which was just old enough to appreciate the tone of regret, trauma, and fragile beauty. I was crushed when the comic ended after only 17 entries. Reading it again ten years later, the writing affects me in the same way it did then. I am surprised how well I remember these stories and how I internalized them to help me make sense of the pain of growing up. The economy of Barry's storytelling is amazing. In just 18 panels she can reduce me to tears. She writes deeply of friendship, self-exploration and family. Her compassion for the people who tortured her is astounding. She has her detractors, but I think her drawing style is extremely expressive. I wish this comic had continued, but it would have been painful or worse, run out of steam. As it stands, the book contains 17 gems to be cherished over and over again.

Lynda stabs me in the heart with her beautiful art every time 🥲 I am very grateful for that
December 10, 2019
A fun and moving collection of short autobiographical vignettes, spotlighting what Barry calls her "demons", inspired by a 16th century Zen monk art practice. Each story unfolds around a theme such as what different houses smell like, losing touch with close friends, and what it feels like to be an "other". I could relate so much to this book, since I am also the child of a Filipino immigrant father and an American mother (as well as an artist). I too share the memory of being teased for my clothes smelling of Filipino cuisine...
Barry's storytelling voice and structure really give these stories meaning. Each one is concluded by a deeper analysis as she reflects back on her memories, now as an artist in her adulthood. I found this so inspiring! I think that in the future I will also attempt to make my own book of demons as an art project.
Lynda Barry is one of my all-time favorite illustrators, and I have been following her work since I read What It Is back in high school. She is the absolute queen of collage, and I love that she has a very DIY style with specific materials (usually ink on yellow legal paper, and lots of doodles). With resonating storytelling and fun imagery, One Hundred Demons is definitely worth checking out.

Lynda Barry is amazing. She is very open about her childhood, who she is and what she feels. I should have read this in my teenage years, being lost and not knowing why I felt certain ways...Wait, that's STILL how I am...
Erm...
Anyway, I liked What it is better because I think it scratched deeper. I don't know whether I mean it scratched the topic deeper, or me, but it certainly moved plains underneath me.
One Hundred Demons was hard to relate to because it lacked in the universal. Of everything. All topics from childhood for example were very specific to Barry as if a diary entry and I have hardly gone through any of the experiences she has. She had less of the philosophical "Why did we stop playing and became angry" wonderings which make me think and also stare at the page with my mouth gaping open going "Hey, that's what I've been asking!"
I guess what I'm trying to say is One Hundred Demons is more about Barry as a person than a universal book of relatable philosophical questions of why we do or don't do anything ever.

Mood: Seeking the art of the comic with a gut punch of emotional truth
Thoughts: How is it now that I have just read my first Lynda Barry? Clearly she is one of the greats and her One Hundred Demons is still worthy and relevant of admirers and it it coming close to its 20 year anniversary.
On a more personal note, this book reminded me so deeply of a brilliant and creative friend I lost last year to cancer, Deanna Uesugi. She was a person of outsized talents, empathy, compassion and obscenely wicked sense of humor. One of her many talents was she made comics. I think often of how much I wish she was still here and reading Lynda Barry's One Hundred Demons, once again profoundly makes me wish that she was still here. I would have discussed this book with her. I guess that is one of my demons.
Reasons to read: You like Lauren Redness (in fact I can only imagine that Lynda Barry's collage style may have some influence on Redness), Eleanor Davis, Mariko Tamaki, Jillian Tamaki, Lisa Hanawalt, Mimi Pond, Allie Brosh, Lucy Knisley, Roz Chast, Marjane Satrapi

Read for class!
This is the first graphic memoir I've ever read and it was so great! I think I'll probably only grow more of an appreciation for it as we take it up in the next few classes. Barry has a very excellent way of navigating emotional tones throughout the exploration of different "demons" that "are the life moments that haunt, form you, and stay with you."
There was also an impressive mixture of media throughout the book, and it's clear Barry paid attention to every detail on every page.

What a great book! A collection of short illustrated stories, really about the stuff that plagues us and weighs us down. They never head in the direction you think they will but always end up somewhere complete and satisfying. If you love to be in the company of someone who doesn't quite think like anyone else, Lynda Barry is a magnificent host.

This one is the M word. The people next to me on the plane were crouching away from me, possibly because you don't smell so good on a long flight, but also because I went back and forth between laughing hysterically and stifling tears.

Un comic lleno de libertad, frescura, sentido del humor que en el fondo trata de cosas oscuras, como el maltrato infantil, la adaptación social, el abuso, etc.
Todo contado con un estilo inspirado en la infancia. Colorido y libre. ¡Es enorme Lynda Barry!

Very very very good. Memoiry stories. I took a lot of breaks in between them and love them a lot. Harsh life growing up. The good bits. Caring for one’s demons.

Shoutout Lindsey for letting me borrow this book!!! It was soooo good I’ve never read a comic style book before, but I loved it!! Great, fun, and relatable
