I do!! I see them occasionally, but I don’t want to reblog every single strip they’ve ever made, otherwise it’d get really cluttered around here :)

Never need to ask this question when I’m around. It’s me.

Coon is another autobiographical comic I like to read whenever I need a good chuckle or just want to enjoy some lovely art. It is sort of a slice-of-life kind story, telling the artist and writers internal dialogue and daily adventures. Occasionally we’ll see her real-life friends make appearances as animal likenesses as well, showing all sort of personalities and quirks that are sometimes hilarious and other time relatable.

Once again there isn’t really a story here to critique, as it is a person’s life written down, albeit written in a humorous way. As mentioned there are relatable moments that anyone can feel, while other times there are moments from the artist's life that are her own. It’s fun to see someones day to day personified as a raccoon, adds a fun twist, in my opinion.

The art is completely in black and white, done in pen and ink no less! It has this newspaper comic strip feel to it, which I really love. The expressions, body language, and comedic execution of the everyday are very well done, showing that humor can be found anywhere from simple mundane activities to little accidents. 

While not very long, since it updates every other Saturday, Coon is a comic I’ll definitely be revisiting for the foreseeable future. It’s funny in great ways, relatable in the best ways, and just down write beautifully drawn. Give it a read, let me know what you think.

And, as always, I hope you enjoy as much as I do.
