A review by shallowdepths

1.0

I'm okay with the potential mundanity and repitition of diary comics. But here it didn't speak to me and just made me sad about the things that absorb people. Records of consumption: food, coffee, alcohol. The challenge of budgeting; the desire for material things. Maybe sometimes in a joyful way, but also often in a self-loathing or defeated kind of way. More personal dreams and desires are present, but obscured or reduced to cliche.
