I’m always a fan of comics that keep me guessing, so I was delighted that the assumption I made when buying this (that this would be a comic about a time when Caroline watched a house when somebody was out of town, with or without hijinx) wasn’t actually what the comic was about. It’s actually a story about Carolyn growing up, experiencing art first through how her parents decorated their own home, before having her world completely opened up after visiting the house where her father had done some repair work. This house had been designed by one of the students of Frank Lloyd Wright, so it was already a unique experience inside and out, but the inhabitants of the house had dedicated it to art of all kinds. There’s a lot going on in here, but that sample image really is my favorite, showing how they all took in what they were seeing in their own ways. Of course, Carolyn does eventually end up house-sitting, but what it mostly did was expand on her own love for art and show what her own home could eventually look like. She also dog-sat (and learned what to do and what not to do with a dog), but that section is so delightful that I’ll just leave it for y’all to discover. It’s a thoroughly enjoyable comic, and a good reminder that you can always surround yourself with art, or at the very least you can always have reminders of it everywhere. $8
