Title: The Widow Reminisces Over A Plate Of Vegetables
Date: 2003
Publisher: Alexander Danner and Stephanie Smith
Writer: Alexander Danner
Artist: Stephanie Smith
Stephanie Smith (Stephanie Brown) illustrates a poem by Alexander Danner in this 6-page b/w minicomic.
The comic shows a widow living alo
ne, remembering her husband, an avid hunter to his final days, the ducks that he would shoot and bring home for dinner, and the work involved in preparing the meal.
This has great use of detail as it goes through a powerful reflection on the nature of marriage and grief. Straightforward, even as it takes some unexpected turns, the story is charged with emotion in spite of the illustrations of simple routine tasks.
Rating: 8.5/10
