"I dig Carol Lay's work because it's weird yet friendly yet disturbing yet funny -- a good combination." -- Matt Groening

"Carol Lay does these docu-fables that mix deadpan fantasy with a stoic, understated reality. She writes and draws in a cartoon monotone that masks the wit, intelligence, and reflective anger that hums beneath the surface. It's a pleasure to know she's around." -- Jules Feiffer

"Good and evil are intertwined and impossible to separate." --Keith Haring

Introduced with her signature blacked-out glasses in the graphic novella INVISIBLE CITY, Madame Asgar soon became a favorite Carol Lay character. The hapless devil, Nick, showed up about the same time in separate strips. The two soon became natural foils for one another. GOOD AND/OR EVIL collects their earliest STORY MINUTE appearances and all their subsequent skirmishes

STORY MINUTE tells twelve-paneled tales designed to be read in about a minute. It offers fables; stories about relationships; twisty tales of crime and consequences, peeks into the competitive undercurrents within families; and arched-eyebrow looks at humanity's self-destructive impulses.

The strip later evolved into the more-loosely structured WAYLAY, which, while keeping Story Minute tropes, also allowed Carol to comment on 9/11 and to offer glimpses into her own world and life.

[] Story Minutes are best sipped, not gulped. []
