See You Next Tuesday by Jane Mai

otterno11's review

3.0

An entertaining, if shallow, collection of sketchy memoir comics, Jane Mai's "See You Next Thursday” is a quick, breezy read. Dealing with overdrinking, poor job prospects, sex, immigrant parents, and other 20-something aspects of figuring out this whole adulthood thing, Mai’s work is very funny in a rather raunchy, slackery way, in particular her asides scribbled every few pages. With a deliberately sloppy style, as though jotted down on a napkin at a bar just as the thought or anecdote occurred, there is definitely something very confessional here but on the other hand, it often feels all over the place, with little linking one escapade from another. I am curious to see how her work evolves.

I don't always read comics/graphic novels, but when I do, they're sarcastic and weird and funny and brutally honest about constipation and diarrhea. That was this book. It was good and there was a dog in it.
