This is how slice of life comics ought to be. Each “slice” is a page or two long, and relates one anecdote. No topic is off limits for the funny, witty Jennifer Hayden. Stories about her daughter growing up, battling adolescence, and her love-hate relationship with school. Or stories from Jennifer reconnecting with old friends, weird dreams she had, or even embarrasing stories from her own life.
Jennifer is funny, witty, pulls no punches and holds nothing back in the stories she shares. Every aspect of the comic is easy to relate to because Jennifer writes the stories like she’s talking directly to us. At times we’re crying and at other times we’re rolling in the floor laughing with each other.
The artwork is raw and unpretentious, reminiscent of Al Jaffee. She captures the essence of the anecdote she is relating without embellishment. An excellent read.
