Are You Listening? by Tillie Walden 4/5 🚗s
This is a gorgeous little comic, filled with a lot of heart and a touch of magic. I'm a sucker for road trip stories, and this one is no exception. The story centers around two characters, Bea (a teenager running away from home) and Lou (a young adult who recently lost her mother). In a string of events, they find themselves road tripping across West Texas, trying to find the home of a lost cat. Along the way, they learn about each other, themselves, and the magic that lives within the world around them.
By virtue of the medium, the story is short but powerful, with art that sells that expanse of the world around them, the horror of fear, and the ache of loneliness. It was a good story, and one whose art and characters I hope to return to soon.
