Look, if you&#8217;re going to imitate anybody for a  comic, he&#8217;s one of the best people out there to pick. But&#8230; there&#8217;s  already a John Porcellino out there. This book has a story that ends  with the trademark &#8220;Drawn on 0\/0, Happened 0\/0&#8221; thing from all the King  Cat books and even has a random list of things that she likes. It&#8217;s a  shame that I spent so much time looking for comparisons to somebody else  here, because it looks like her own work could be pretty good. She has a  very unique style of scratchy lines that I really like, and there&#8217;s  just a strange&#8230; familiarity with the things that she says in here. Lot  of potential here, but she has to find her own voice.
