Quarantine Comix: A Memoir of Life in Lockdown by Rachael Smith
Everyone's experience, during the pandemic, may vary, and Rachel’s is interesting because she is close to nature, so some of the things that happen involve spring lambs.
But the main issue, of wanting to be with others, of missing working at, well, work instead of home, they are all there.
Not sure if it is too soon to have comics about this, or if it is just the right time. These were all written as web comics since the beginning of lockdown.
The humor is the sort that makes you nod, and realize that you have the same feelings. As one of her roommates said. “Your comics make me laugh, and then they make me cry.” To which she replies “That kinda of my brand.”
Thanks to Edelweiss for making this book available for an honest review.
