Somerville comic artist Maris Wicks was tapped to illustrate another fine Jim Ottaviani science book and the result is Primates from First Second. Jim and Maris were kind enough to talk with us about observers that inspire us. Primates is the story of “Leakey’s Angels”—Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey, and Biruté Galdika—and is a beautifully crafted story, lushly illustrated for all audiences. Get your feet wet in the jungle with us as we swing from the trees!

TOUCH THE WONDER: LET’S DANCE WITH JESSE LONERGAN AND HIS POP CULTURE ARTWORK
Jesse Lonergan is a comic book writer and artist living in Somerville. He began a blog called Dancer A Day in January 2012 and it is the coolest thing I’ve seen all year.

The result is internet quicksand. Continue reading

Q: I thought that when iOS 6.0 came out iMessage was supposed to be synchronized between the iPad and the iPhone. I have an iPad and an iPhone, and my husband has an iPhone, but he has to send texts to either my iPad or iPhone. It doesn’t send his text messages to both. Did I setup something wrong?
