Everything Is Beautiful, and I’m Not Afraid: A Baopu Collection by Yao Xiao

This is an intense and personal collection of comic strips. There is nothing remotely 'HaHa funny' about them. Most of the ones I follow on social media do have personal incidents influencing their collections, but this one was of a slightly different ilk. I had seen one or two in passing forwards somewhere, that was…

The Detection Club 1 & 2 by Jean Harambat

I saw these books a long time ago. I downloaded them after seeing this Review by Kate, and even after I had it on my laptop, I did not start reading it till I saw Rekha had gotten around to reading her copy and liking it. It spurred me into picking mine up and reading both in…

How I Broke Up with My Colon by Nick Seluk, The Awkward Yeti

This Book is available to request on NetGalley till the 24th of March This collection was not what I expected at all(since I did not pay attention to the tagline)! It is also an infrequent occurrence for that reaction to be followed by actual enjoyment. I follow the Awkward Yeti on Instagram, previously Fb and…

Small Hours: A Mrs Frollein Collection by Valerie Minelli

This is another set of comic strips that are based on the life of a couple who are very comfortable with and around each other. It has all the small events and actions that take place as interactions. The little things make up a large chunk of the comics, and they are funny as well…

Days of Sugar and Spice by Loïc Clément / Art by Anne Montel

It is not often that I get a chance to read a translated work which is both a graphic novel as well as a light, breezy read while also clicking with me. This, as I am trying to say, was all three(translated from French). The story is very simple and straightforward, our leading lady Rose…

Snug by Catana Chetwynd

This is available for request on NetGalley till the 4th of Feb I have seen quite a few of these comic strips before online and always enjoyed spotting myself or my husband in a few of them. When I saw this upcoming collection available I had to read it. It is a relatively short collection…

Krazy Kat Collection: Selected Sunday Strips 1918–1919 by George Herriman

This is up for request on NetGalley till the 11th of February 2020 When I first started reading this, I did not get it. Only when I came back to it, I realised what I was doing wrong. I was treating it like a more modern comic strip which makes sense, is funny and profound…

Bird Brain by Chuck Mullin

This was not what I expected going in. I have not seen the author's works previously and therefore, did not know the kind of content it had. Since I usually like checking out compilations of comic strips, I decided to give it a shot. Most of the comic strips that I follow, and some of…
