Here's a minicomic that I picked up, somewhat randomly, at Million Year Picnic Cambridge MA.
Title: My Senior Year
Publisher: Sarah Friedman
Date: 2013
Writer: Sarah Friedman
Artist: Sarah Friedman
Eighteen-page half-size minicomic with cardstock cover.
Series of moments and vignettes from the artist's senior year in college. Not much background is given, so this really could be set anywhere.
I liked the art style, which makes good use of space without ever seeming cramped in the minicomic format.
The stories were a bit of a mix, although I really enjoyed some of the quick glimpses into the artist's life as a student in one or two panels. Some of the more plot-oriented stories could have been expanded out a bit more.
Among the topics covered were roommates and neighbors, babysitting, and misadventures in adopting a cat.
Rating: 5.5/10
