<div><P><i>Another Stereotype Bites the Dust</i> is creator Darrin Bell's second <i>Candorville</i> collection. In this thought-provoking strip Bell uses a diverse group of friends to paint a real yet humorous portrait of inner-city America. An educated underachiever, Lemont Brown is an aspiring writer. Socially conscious, he wants to work at changing the world and infusing it with wisdom and justice-if only he could pay his rent. Lemont's childhood friend Susan Garcia is a book-smart and street savvy Mexican-American woman who won't let bigotry or any glass ceiling keep her down. And Lemont's friend Clyde (aka "C-Dog") is a streetwise thug and undiscovered rapper who'd rather mooch off his mother than get a job.<P><i>Another Stereotype Bites the Dust</i> deals with some tough issues-poverty, homelessness, racism, and personal responsibility-with knowing irony and incisive satire. Bell uses edgy dialogue and modern situations to jab everything from political correctness to political spinning, from political hindsight to office politics, making it a hit among socially aware 20- and 30-somethings.<P>Syndicated by the Washington Post Writers Group, <i>Candorville</i> appears in the <i>Los Angeles</i><i> Times, Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, Detroit Free Press</i>, and <i>Al Dia</i> (Dallas Morning News Spanish edition), and many other major newspapers.</p></div> <div><P><i>Another Stereotype Bites the Dust</i> is creator Darrin Bell's second <i>Candorville</i> collection.
