Opposable Thumbs
While certainly evocative of Flannery O'Connor--that old workhorse of the South--and her dark humor, Hudson's stories also evoke empathy for the characters and their situations, no matter how bizarre. Who would ever think to empathize with an incestuous father who's gotten his daughter pregnant? Or with two redneck drunks jabbering their racism and solipsistic pity? Or, on a lighter note, with a teenage boy barricading himself behind loud music as his family argues over possession of a prize mink coat?

Opposable Thumbs Volume 1
Opposable Thumbs is Dean Haspiel's stories of a born & bred New Yorker and the trials and tribulations of living in the big bad city which serves as the backdrop for the informed, existential expression in his sociological comics. In Opposable Thumbs, Haspiel unfolds existential, uproarious, compassionate stories full of personal wisdom. Even the bleakest and grubbiest settings are lovingly, lusciously rendered by Haspiel's sharp brush in one of the most recognizable styles in alternative comics, and "quiet" domestic scenes veritably simmer with graphic impact. Thoroughly conquering the territory Dean began to explore in the critically acclaimed two-man anthology Keyhole (with Josh Neufeld), Opposable Thumbs looks like the new front-runner in autobiographical storytelling. With a special introduction by autobiographical comics legend Harvey Pekar and illustrated by Josh Neufeld. The first issue is a 48-page collection, culling Dean Haspiel's best semi-autobiographical stories from the pages of Keyhole, Minimum Wage, Non, The Expo Anthology, and Dirty Stories 2..

The Opposable Mind: How Successful Leaders Win Through Integrative Thinking--A Harvard Business School Press Book Summary in Partnership with getAbstract
What distinguishes a brilliant leader from a conventional one? In this insightful book, Roger Martin shows that brilliant leaders are skilled at "integrative thinking"--the ability to hold two opposing ideas in their minds at once, and then reach a synthesis that contains elements of both but improves on each. And luckily, integrative thinking can be learned. "The Opposable Mind" lights the way past the binary limits of either-or thinking to help you craft creative solutions..
