Giant Days: Not On the Test Edition Vol. 1 by John Allison

5.0

I love everything about Giant Days, the writing, the art and the stories but most of all I love the characters - Daisy, Esther and Susan, a trio of the best and brightest humanity has to offer, or at least the gothest, angriest and wettest humanity has to offer. New found friends in their first year at university, they deal with the high drama and low comedy of life in their own inimitable way. Finishing this first volume I realised what it reminded me of most was Alan Plater's Beiderbecke TV series, lots of deadpan wit and common human decency in a funny old world, and in our dark and dodgy times it does us all some good to know someone's keeping that flag flying.
