Who’s looking for a little mild heartbreak on a Monday? This one is told from the perspective of a young girl writing in her diary. Things start off fairly innocuous, as she’s writing about things she likes and how much she enjoys writing poems, before she gets to the heart of things: her parents are getting divorced, and she has no idea what her life is going to be like after that happens. What happens when her mom starts dating again? Or when her dad moves out? Will she lose friends at school over it? The writing is done with large single page panels (which is why the sample image is so cryptic), so it’s a quick read, but there are details in here that will stick in your brain and remind you of them later. As for the explanation of that image below, oof. I hope this is fiction, because the image of your dad moving out of the house would be heartbreaking enough, but bringing both cats with him would just be such an extra insult to the proceedings. It turns out that there are several Missy comics, so maybe I’ll keep looking for more, but this is one is solid by itself. Check it out, especially if you have any lingering divorce trauma in your life. $5
