Lynda Barry’s illustrations and stories are captivating and chock full of human spirit. I had a really hard time pacing myself while reading this book, it’s just so so good. Also personally, her artistic freedom provokes a lot of inspiration. She’s a master at telling stories through comics, it’s like candy to read!
