Giant Days, Volume Three

I enjoy the volumes of this series as I'm reading them, but they are so insubstantial that I really can't recall much of them even a day later. Reading volume three was like going to a party with people you know you're supposed to know but whose names you can't remember. Eavesdropping on their conversations is as confusing at times, but the bubbly dialogue at least keeps it amusing. The highlight of this volume was the introduction of Esther's old high school friend. She at least seems memorable.

Susan went off the deep end, there's great cause for concern about Esther (the "beautiful idiotic wraith" as one character called her), and Daisy's running on the moors finding "hatches" (I'm still puzzling out that one), but reading this comic was as enjoyable as ever. Silly lines like "I know that sorry is an overused word, so...splorry," just make my heart sing.
If you haven't tried out Giant Days yet, pick up volume 1 and get going!

Ed Gemmell joins the college paper and helps sniffs out a scandal in the Student Union. In the aftermath, Susan gets involved in the upcoming election to the detriment of her personal life. Esther has a crisis of confidence or something after an old friends comes to visit. Daisy tries to keep them on the rails by taking them on a trek. Overlapping plots and stories, characters in drama being rescued by the power of friendship and it's all very funny and gorgeous to look at. Allison's characters and script are wonderful, and Max Sarin's art adds about ten pounds to the funny and the charm.

I love this graphic novel series. The university adventures of Susan, Daisy, Esther, Ed and McGraw continue. I keep trying to identify which girl is most like my own college-age daughter, but I think she possesses elements of each of them. In these chapters I felt Daisy might be the closest match-- nerdy, socially awkward but enthusiastic, and, as it is revealed, a girl guide leader with an affinity for the outdoors. These young people are finding their way to adulthood and dealing with many pratfalls along the way, and I'm happy to be along for the ride.

The ongoing chronicle of the ordinary adventures and mishaps that first-year uni students Daisy, Esther, and Susan encounter. Among them is a student election, grappling with class load, (re)connecting with old friends, and a camping trip.

Just a lovely read to sink into and exactly what I needed. It took me a couple volumes to really fall in love with these women and their friend group but now I'm in for the ride and have placed holds on the next volumes. Gorgeous artwork in this volume as well.

The continued uni adventures of Daisy, Esther, and Susan and their friends Ed and McGraw. I'm just loving this comic to bits.The art, the situations, the supporting characters, and the heart at the core of all of it is just outstanding. 100% my kind of thing.

My heart is a little broken after certain events, but I am still LOVING this series. So much fun!!
