We’ve got two awesome new comics in the shop this week! First up, the long-awaited next installment in Carrie McNinch’s bittersweet zine series, You Don’t Get There From Here #26. In this issue, Carrie goes to Oaxaca to celebrate Dia de los Muertos, sightsee, and spend time with friends. When she gets home, she finds that the cold has set in, the city is changing, and her father’s mind is deteriorating even further. As always, she brings to this issue an incredible playlist of songs and some cute scenes of her cats.
We also have the second issue of Montreal-based cartoonist Sophie Yanow’s comic, In Situ. A diary told in sketchy, half-glimpsed moments, this comic follows Yanow as she couch-surfs in California, Canada, and New York as she figures out her life and waxes political about the tuition crisis. Her art is vague, even rushed, but strangely elegant and poetic. She is definitely an cartoonist to keep an eye on!
Situ gives the readers faded snapshots, half-glimpsed moments of
Yanow’s life couch-surfing in Canada and California, spending time with
friends and lovers, and trying to figure out what she’s doing with her
life. Vague but strikingly elegant, this beautifully-designed and
put-together comic is worth multiple reads. – See more at:
