Take-Out Comics #5

I didn't feel like reading either of the remaining new books tonight, so back into the backlog I go.

Title: Take-Out Comics
Issue: 5
Publisher: Raina Telgemeier
Date: 2003
Writer: Raina Telgemeier
Artist: Raina Telgemeier

Autobiographical minicomic, with this issue featuring the artist's trip home to San Francisco from New York for the holidays.

I really liked the art style in this. The characters felt very much alive and real, with a slightly cartoony look that was balanced by lots of great details. The situations felt very real too.

There were some really nice moments of interaction with the family, and a cute bit of geekery courtesy of a visit to the Cartoon Art Museum.

Thoughtful, and fun. This was a nice window into the lives of the characters.

Rating: 8/10
