Wash Day by Robyn Smith, J.A. Micheline, Jamila Rowser
4.0
I'm glad I backed this one on Kickstarter. I don't read a lot of slice of life comics (and what little I have read has been a mixed bag), but this is exactly the kind of book that makes me want to read more.
The story here is a really nice bit of slice of life set during wash day. Not only is it a lovely piece of life, but it also serves as a lovely tribute to black women and their hair. Simple stuff like her holding her keys between her fingers while walking at night, getting catcalled, or simply walking past a comic shop going out of business was all pretty easy to connect with. The artwork here is absolutely lovely, and gave the whole book this extra realistic but cozy feel.
I definitely recommend this one.
