Status Updates From The Infinite Wait

the second story was hilarious. it's sort of about her dating life, share house life, and how she came to start drawing. my favourite story was how she has an edible, remembers these amazing cookies at the mall the size of your head, and then ventures out on a mission to get one after taking another edible "one for the road!" haha needless to say she never gets her cookie. this book is very cheering

okay so the infinite wait (the first story) is about how she went from shitty jobs in her hometown to living in new york and having several comic books out. she seems great with people but she has a problem with alcohol. despite her success she still has to have a day job, and gets fired at least 3 times (!!!) it's kind of encouraging though how things can change

oh she got a break, thank god! after a year of posting her comics online she was approached by an indie publisher to publish a book ("things i did and thoughts i had" haha). maybe she won't be in her crappy mcjob forever? that's cheering

okay so now she's college aged and trapped working at some hipster restaurant called valencia and day drinking (uh-oh!). on the front cover this is labelled as "stories" but it's basically memoir where she's picked the best/funniest bits she remembers. it's ripping along...

this graphic novel looks self published but it's not. the first story is about all the jobs she's had... and it really starts at the beginning, like she's primary school aged and selling her neighbours plums back to them (from THEIR tree!), swapping discards from her dad's stationery shop with classmates for candy, etc. She's really hustling!!!
