Maybe an Artist: A Graphic Memoir by Liz Montague

4.0

Relatable life story of the early life of a young New Yorker cartoonist. I'm gonna sound old here, but it was interesting to me to read about the 2008/2009 recession as a historical event that happened when the artist was in middle school.

The form is interesting here - lots of white space on the page, and many paragraphs of text outside of the panels. Almost hybridy.

Liked the depiction of dyslexia, and questioning what you want to be when you grow up, and of course REPRESENTATION MATTERS.
