Good, fast read. Reminded me style wise of Life is Hell.
Dunno, it was fine I suppose but I can’t imagine I’ll ever think it again.

Loved the depiction of the apartment hunting process.

On one hand, MFA programs are definitely a big circle jerk. On the other, you DO get jerked off when you're in a circle jerk, so...kind of the same result, right?

Maybe I just think making art to impress others is silly, and it doesn't really work because most people who would be impressed by it aren't going to be because their role is to critique, and they can make themselves appear smart by throwing a smart-sounding critique your way, even if the critique doesn't connect to the art all that well.

Maybe those who can't do art critique it.

Those who can't make graphic novels critique them.

Wait...shit...

The art style is jarring. Wendy is insufferable. It's not particularly funny, though it aims at slapstick; instead it achieves uncomfortable relatability for anyone who went through higher education, questioning their purpose in life and making terrible decisions while navigating relationships poorly.

There is some minor character growth and redemption, but I'm not sure it was worth getting to, as not a member of the target audience (art majors).
