Cannonball by Kelsey Wroten

The world of Cannonball was messy but nostalgically familiar. The protagonist is exhausting and often infuriating, but so are lots of people in their early 20s. I thought the dialogue, characterization, and the distinctive illustration style were all excellent. The constant misspellings were super distracting though, and the book had one of my ultimate reading pet peeves: excerpts from a story-within-the-story that is supposedly brilliant and acclaimed, but is much less compelling than the larger story framing it. I liked the contrasting art style used for the dreams/excerpts, but the actual writing in those sections washed over me. It always felt like a relief to return to the "real" world of the comic.
