Hollywood is a great area. There are many production companies and studios there that might be involved in animation for film or TV, which could also be related to graphic novels in terms of adaptation.
First, network like crazy. Attend local animation and graphic novel events, meet people in the industry. Check out studios and publishers in LA and send your portfolio directly to them.
You can try checking the LA Weekly's official website. They might have an archive or a dedicated section for these best novels.
Well, the 'LA Weekly Best LA Novels' could be a curated list of fictional works. They probably showcase different aspects of Los Angeles like its diverse neighborhoods, the entertainment industry's influence, or the complex social fabric. It could be that these novels are chosen based on their writing quality, how well they portray the city, and their ability to engage readers with LA - based stories.
You might try looking in local comic book stores. They often carry a wide variety of graphic novels.
Since I'm not familiar with this particular graphic novel, it could cover a wide range of themes. It may revolve around the dentist as a central character, showing their work - life balance in the context of their home. There could be stories about the history of the house and how it became a dental practice. It might also depict the community around the house and how the dentist and the house are perceived by the neighbors. It could be a story full of human interest, with the dentist's house serving as the backdrop for all kinds of interactions, emotions, and events.
"La Traviata" is considered one of the masterpieces of French literature. This novel, through the story of a young woman, La Traviata, shows the social reality and the complexity of human nature during the French Revolution. The most touching part is: La Traviata was forced to become a prostitute during the revolution, but she did not give up her dignity and personality because of social pressure. On the contrary, she expressed her desire for freedom and love through her actions and inner desires. Even when she was suffering from torture and pain, she did not give in to fate but firmly maintained her beliefs and principles. When faced with the choice between love and freedom, La Traviata also showed a very smart and profound thinking. She clearly recognized her own situation and inner contradictions, but also felt the urgency of the revolution and the responsibility of history. In the end, she chose to face her predicament bravely and chose to fight for her freedom and love for life. The story of La Traviata showed the complexity of human nature and the firm belief that deeply touched me. Her courage and wisdom also inspired me not to give up my dignity and ideals in the face of difficulties and challenges.
I'm not sure exactly. Maybe it's about a fun and carefree moment or a particular experience. But without more context, it's hard to say for sure.
Online book communities can be a great resource. For example, Goodreads has user reviews and ratings. You can search for 'LA novels' and then sort by the highest rated ones.

La Traviata was a long novel by Alexandre Dumas of France, and it was also his masterpiece in 1862.
Not having read the graphic novel, it's pure speculation. The main characters could include the dentist, who is probably central to the story. There might be a nosy neighbor who is always curious about what goes on in the dentist's house. Also, if there are any apprentices or trainees in the dental practice, they could be main characters. Maybe there's a patient with a phobia of dentists who has a character arc throughout the story.
