Meanwhile, in “The Education of Hopey Glass,” Hopey (her Spanish birth name giving this collection its title) career transitions from tending bar to teaching kindergarten (while still juggling a complex love life). The final quarter of the book shows Maggie's lovable ex, Ray Dominguez, being dragged into the aftermath of a grisly murder thanks to his affair with the \"Frogmouth.\" \n\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJaime Hernandez\u003c\/b\u003e was one of six siblings born and raised in Oxnard, California. His mother passed down a love of comics, which for Jaime became a passion rivaled only by his interest in the burgeoning punk rock scene of 1970s Southern California. Together with his brothers Gilbert and Mario, Jaime co-created the ongoing comic book series \u003ci\u003eLove and Rockets\u003c\/i\u003e in 1981, which Gilbert and Jaime continue to both write and draw to this day. Jaime’s work began as a perfect (if unlikely) synthesis of the anarchistic, do-it-yourself aesthetic of the punk scene and an elegant cartooning style that recalled masters such as Charles M. Schulz and Alex Toth. \u003ci\u003eLove and Rockets\u003c\/i\u003e has evolved into one of the great bodies of American literary fiction, spanning five decades and countless high-water marks in the medium’s history. In 2016, Hernandez won the prestigious \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e Book Prize for his graphic novel, \u003ci\u003eThe Love Bunglers\u003c\/i\u003e. In 2017, he (along with Gilbert) was inducted into the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame, and, in 2018, he released his first children’s book, the Aesop Book Prize-winning \u003ci\u003eThe Dragon Slayer: Folktales from Latin America\u003c\/i\u003e.
