Daytripper by Gabriel Bá, Fábio Moon
3.0
Daytripper is what would happen if you collected every poignant moment in your life and comic book-ified it.
It's a series of snapshots of various points in writer Bras de Oliva Domingos' life (and one issue from a related character's perspective). This was recommended to me as a slice of life book, which is definitely is, but the moments of violence and surrealist elements separated Daytripper from the usual comforting trance these kinds of stories impart.
The art is great, portraying characters at various stages and ages of life but it's always clear whose who.
Though the book is exploring an entire life of memories, it's a tight story at the same time focusing on a very small set of characters. Even though it didn't pull the heart strings as much as I thought it would, there's a lot to like here and worth a read without question.
