The author does a surreal fantasy adaptation of her childhood wherein parents are aliens, a little brother's imaginary friend is a demon from hell, and a cosmic alternate universe version of herself has just died. I love the art, the narration, and individual anecdotes, but it starts to seem a bit overlong and meandering. Seeing as it only covers first grade, it ends as if it is but the first volume of a series, leaving a lot of unanswered questions. I do hope to see a follow-up. The first part of a well-drawn, very slow-moving, graphic novel memoir. It's the first collected part of an ongoing series, not a standalone, which I didn't realize going in. I really enjoyed the art, the humor, the stark differences between the affects of adult and child Axelle, the family relationships, and particularly loved the youngest brother. I think people who are already familiar with this author and their works might have more well-founded expectations and a better response to this, I'm not sure. Going in completely cold, it's quite slow, and since I don't know anything it's unclear what I'm meant to guess is real, metaphorical, or completely fictional—and since it turns out to be just the earliest intro, it's hard to tell yet if such a distinction is even important. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

Ever since my cosmic twin disappeared, nothing makes sense anymore. Friends, work, life-well, you get the picture. For all of five minutes I thought therapy might be the answer. But then I remembered: I'm a cartoonist. Why waste a skilled professional's time when I could just spend 10 years of my life making an autobiographical comic and call it a "voyage of self-discovery"? So here it is: the opening chapter of my life. It's 1985 in a small Quebec town called Notre-Dame du Lac. We're going to get to know a little girl who enjoys chatting with the forest (that's me!), a younger brother with demonic tendencies, a tyrannical older brother, and two marvelous parents who may or may not be aliens. And please, PLEASE, take my advice, dear reader. If you ever find yourself in the midst of an existential crisis, don't make a comic about it. See a therapist instead. Much love!.
