PREPARING TO BITE by Keiler Roberts
Keiler Roberts is one of my top five all-time favorite cartoonists, and any new collection of her work is a reason to celebrate. Deadly dry, funny, sad, and deeply rich and powerful work.
“Preparing to Bite, [Roberts’] latest collection of all-new, one-page comics is a return to perfect form. Roberts skewers innocuous aspects of everyday life and dissects them for their unique absurdity: from cooking meals, to keeping doctors’ appointments, to owning pets, and even navigating now-inescapable zoom calls. These vignettes portray a woman in middle-age grappling with the realities of being a mother, a wife, a friend, a daughter, and lastly (perhaps even least of all), a practicing artist―all while dealing with the long-term effects of a debilitating disease.”
