Amazon.com Product Description:
With this second collection of comic strips after the critically-acclaimed Will You Still Love Me If I Wet The Bed?, Liz Prince continues to explore the intimacy of the couple, while at the same time revealing snippets of her life as a young cartoonist. Sentimental and humorous, these little gems of chaotic relationships and life come off like the best of daily newspaper strips.
Liz Prince's comics are slice of life comics. Funny encounters, funny situations, and even funny noises! It's all there! They remind me a little of Julia Wertz's Fart Party comics. Like Wertz sometimes, Prince uses a very rough sketchy illustration style for her comics.
I had a lot of laugh out loud moments reading these comics. The author has a sassy yet cute attitude which comes across great! A few of the characters seemed familiar from her previous comic, Will You Still Love Me If I Wet The Bed? but I was a little uncertain who was who. I thought I knew which was her boyfriend (he appears a lot in her previous collection) but by the end I was a little unsure. It would have been nice in the front or back to have a list of characters to keep everyone straight.
All in all, this is a great, little and fast collection of random slice of life comics!

Have you ever read any autobiographical comics before?
No, I haven't, but I really would love too...and I want to read more comics in general. I think they are fun.

I don't think I've ever even heard of any autobiographical comics before! Sounds neat though.
ReplyDeleteLadytink_534- There are a lot of great ones out there. I'll hopefully be writing a lot of reviews for them in the coming months!
