Yep, I liked her older stuff too. It’s hard to be sure without seeing it, obviously. This one is a bit more personal than most, with a story that’s sort of about her ex, but mostly about her reaction to the whole thing. Other than that there’s her first cup of tea, spilling india ink, getting a rare Ben Folds Five import, and reading Barefoot Gen as a kid. Barefoot Gen, in case you don’t know, is a comic about the Hiroshima bombing in Japan, told through the eyes of the people who lived there. Tough stuff to read when you’re little. I think I saw that story in an anthology somewhere, or maybe my brain is falling out of my head, who knows? Whatever the case, these are the perfect dollar comics. Short and colorful (you should see this spread on my floor with copies of #2-6, it looks like an uneven rainbow), these books are just fun. Contact info is around here somewhere, and you can get the comics from me if you want!
