A series of well told tales; each chapter is a complete incident, but they stack up to make a very autobiographical feeling graphic novel.
I loved Madge and the various characters who came on stage–particularly her fellow employees, but also customers, her neighbors, and the various people who cross paths and collide with her.
I was surprised by the omni-presence of drugs in her circle–that’s probably a sign of my naivete and a decade’s difference; after all, I grew up in the era of the all powerful “Just Say No”.
In any case, it’s sweet, heartfelt, and devours in an instant.
