CARTOONIST: Liz Prince
ISBN: 1-891830-72-4; softcover
74 pp., B&W, $7
Liz Prince’s book is a tiny tome (3.9 x 5.9), a collection of single page vignettes, almost like daily comic strips. Part Cathy and The Family Circus by way of Jeffrey Brown, each one-pager focuses on the silly, inane, but poignant moments that, if they don’t define a relationship, certainly flavor it. It’s about the habits, the ticks, the personality quirks, etc. that sometimes hold a couple together. Between the work that maintains the relationship, there needs be time for fun. It’s a girl comic that guys can like also.
