Last night, I was about to read a novel, but I wasn’t in the mood. Then I remembered I owned this comic, which is only 74 pages long, and what a great decision I made! This comic is about an old woman named Gerda Wendt, living the remainder of her life in this healthcare facility. This is used as a framing device, to parallel how her past actions have affected her present situation and ultimately ask, did she make the right decisions? It’s a reminisce of one’s life, but also a coming-of-age story. What makes this story so much more touching would be the artist, Barbara Yelin. Her artwork genuinely speaks for itself. The colours are so rich and varied, the panel work is effective and conveys and evokes emotions, and the panel layout is brilliant (certain double spread, which just impressed me looking at it). It also speaks to the importance of healthcare for our elderly. Overall, it’s a short but touching comic that’s worth reading.
