Redpill me on It's Lonely at the Centre of the Earth An auto-bio-graphic-novel by Zoe Thorogood
I have never liked autobiographical comics written by women.
I've read Fun Home by Alison Bechdel, and seeing as how this 'woman's autobiographical comic' has become a whole genre after that, I'll just assume they're all like Fun Home
try some Debbie Drescher comics. much more interesting that that ugly dyke's BS.
just googled it. just looks like more white people making stuff not even other white people want
oh well as the old saying goes: you can take the horse to the water but can't make him drink. waste of time as usual recommending comics on /co.
>comics
white people are not good at that
They're great at it, but the American industry strong arms them until they abandon ship. Only shit that's part of the big machine (big two capeshit) or is approved by academia and the vocal leftist readership (autobioslop) gets through.
>They're great at it
they are really not. and the worst thing about white comic artists is that they have a tendency to make static looking pages and have no sensitivity for the reader's eye flow
I never had a problem with either manga or comics, unless they're outright bad in some way.
I'm the anon you were first replying to,
isn't me
I'll look up the Drescher stuff when I have the time, but frankly most stuff is gonna be better than Bechdel moaning about how shitty her dad was
if her dad was so "shitty" why did she then would dress just like him and take photos imitating photos of him standing in the same spot in their old house? I interpret that as having some type of deep association with her father. He was secretly gay and a paedo after all.
besides Drescher, look up Renee French's old stuff, it will make you shiver, it does me.

What a strange, oddly racist troll
white comics have no rhythm. white comics are wannabe cinema. manga on the other hand is more influenced by photography and therefore has a better sense of encapsulating atmosphere. manga flirts with the reader's sense of time. white comics bore you with a standard play-by-play panel motion that feels like looking at a storyboard for a movie
>Bechdel
Knowing about the musical adaptation though I've never seen it nor gave a shit as long as I've have. It only clicked with me just now that this is the Bechdel test lady.
Just a further endorsement for me to give zero shits.
Persepolis was kino.
I've heard it's gotten rave reviews but I'm so very tired of autobiographical "graphic novels", and of the cult of mental health specifically. I like authors who understand their work is autobiographical whether they want it to be or not, and simply present well constructed fictional narratives that try to find a common ground with their audience as they naturally present ideas, values and experiences rather than the narrative equivalent of trapping you in a pub booth to tell you their life story.
It's absolutely worthwhile to get to known who and what people are, but the very worst way to go about it is by them straight out telling you.
You're not very friendly are you anon? :^(
Waiting to see if my library will pick it up. Billie Scott was a fine effort for a debut work though.
>autobiography
>written by completely unremarkable woman
looks meh
I want her to step on me
Ya know we don’t get many of you molten rock men in here.
Is this another comic by a female writer?
They made me hate down to earth comics, they are always the same superficial boring crap, it's almost as if they are born without imagination
How come japanese women can write comics just fine but American women can't?
What female-written comics have you read?
It's really hard to remember since I tend to forget them immediately after reading them but the manga about a girl with anorexia who hired a middle aged prostitute is a great example
Biographical comics man
>I lived in ponyang and Jerusalem I'm going to tell you how wierd living there is like
>I'm a coomer who ruined his whole life and stiched together a two hour long video with my favorite creampies, that my greatest work
>I used to know a serial killer
Autobiographical comics women
>I'm sad
>I'm dated a jerk
>I'm men are bad
>I'm this is so deep, I wear spirituality as an accessory
It's eat prey love over and over
There was the snoopy comic, I just remembered
Fricking Persepolis
Yeah everything is just an opinion :D. Took you long enough to realize that.
Yeah, I avoid autobios written by women altogether. Even when they have something to tell, they don't tell it all that well.
I'll stick to Moomin and comics like A Frog in the Fall when it comes to female comic writers.
You can just admit you haven't read any comics written by women, nobody reads comics here anyway
I just read the op comic and it fulfills every single point in the first couple pages
>not liking persepolis
persepolis had politics in it, it wasn't the things you listed in greentext. you're biased on that one
I thought it sucked.
I'm getting put put off by graphic novels as a whole since it seems like most things not capes is autobiographies of angsty middle class art hoes.
It does in the first part when it was about her being being a kid during the Iranian Revolution, but it mostly goes away after she emigrates.
have you ever thought of maybe trying some European bande designee?
Igor Baranko for example
I've only read a couple of European comics, but I liked the ones I did read. I'm looking at Days of Sand as something to pick up next time I go to the library.
also, try some Hugo Pratt's Corto Maltese.
I've heard it's a classic. I'll check it out.
I did say seems. I just googled up a random reading list and the second and third ones were autobiographies. It was a decent sized list, but that was some of the first things I saw.
what exactly are you looking for in comics? fantasy? sci fi? modern life? adventure? classic adventures? social commentary? intellectual type stories?
>it seems like most things not capes is autobiographies of angsty middle class art hoes.
Most are definitely capes, but there's no way there aren't more non-cape, non-autobio comics than autobio comics, even before going the way of Euro comics.
there is tons of great non cape shit comics: Brandon Graham, James Stokoe, Simon Roy.
why do people only know capeshit???
>great
Agree to disagree.
Non-capeshit doesn't get the $300 million dollar movies to get front and center of people's attention.
do you think what you see, and hear and read is pure and isn't controlled by millionth dollars corporations who push for it to become Popular?
do you know media companies used to control what songs were played on the radio by playing for songs to be played? Do you think Michael Jackson become "popular" because he was really talented or because somebody paid for him to be pushed to the public?
ok imma read it at readcomiconline
Ok I'm done
I liked the pictures, they were pretty
No idea why she was so sad and depressed, she literally did not suffer at all
Nice visuals thoughever
I'm just starting to do the same and so far it just seems like another exercise in postmodern narcissism. I was kind of hoping everyone would get over this kind of stuff after Bo Burnham's Inside came out but maybe that's me being less sympathetic to kids as I get older. Good art though, hope the creator is ok.
This girl is getting awards and gigs because she’s so gosh darn cute, her art sorta sucks and she can’t write.
I thought this would just be more simp homosexualry, but she is kinda cute.
Men are nothing but meal tickets, never forget that
Woman are nothing but baby factories.
Maybe so but the average woman has an army of simps who would kill you if she gave the order
Watch your words, moid
So men are more than meal tickets.
what is it even about?
It's about 190 pages.
Booo
the creator is a cutie and I like her art (the samples I found), but can she write?
And no one fricking posted her pic
You lazy losers. Here.
Please tell me she is not a lesbian
She's dating a douche.
>douche
Explain
What was the purpose of a douche?
veganal douching is the process of intraveganal cleansing with a liquid solution. Douching is used for personal hygiene or aesthetic reasons, for preventing or treating an infection(1), to cleanse after menstruation or sex, and to prevent pregnancy (2).
I mean what makes him a douche. What did he do
One of those musicians that will never amount to anything, sub 70 iq loser that still think saying "jizz" is peak comedy.
Well she writes about lesbians, so...
Either pandering or bi/lebo herself.
what is the system that churns out white people who make comic books about themselves?
College.
Maybe some day white people will see sequential art as medium worth more than either action superhero only-exists-to-be-collected-or-sell-posters or zine/tumblr-style milquetoast cryography
maybe it's because white people are primarily the ones reading comics. there's lots of raceswapping these days, so where is the tsunami of non white nerds? are they buying comics? are they asking for the diverse characters that already exist to be showcased? or is it just normies who will spend money on black spider man?
>reading comics
*collecting
"black spider man" <--here is the problem right there. Most people only know Marvel and DC and have never heard of anything else. but truth be told, alternative and underground artists like it that way. they wouldnt like the attention. the average person wouldn't be able to handle Real Life presented in these comics, they prefer silly fantasy. manga isnt much better in fact.
Liberalism
Another "I am an opressed lesbo living in a first world country, I also suffer from PTSR, clinical depression and MPD" novel? Pass
stoopid b***h was at San Diego con and got Covid really bad even though she was vaxxed 3 times.
Gee, and I thought vaxxing prevent Covid
vaxxing prevents you from dying, not getting sick DUH
also- there are ten bajillion variations and mutations of covid, you really think one single vaccine can cover them all?
I distinctly remember when CDC was vaxxing prevents from catching covid. now you are parroting their new line.
well, she is really really sick, so it didnt help her any, did it?
>autobiographical comic
Never read it and already hate it. The fact that it's by a woman is just the cherry on top of the shit sundae.
she has cute butt that she doesnt mind showing. I'd read it for free, but won't spend actual money on it.
Not really but it was very good.
Giving it a quick skim through. I like a few of the panels. Don't really like the introduction. I like the overall art and paneling. The writing alternates from "ok that's relatable" to "shitty".
My almost unrelated question as a self hating neet is, how do these people afford all of this? A college dropout, apparently living outside her parents' place just sharing it with 1 other person. And then she travels to the U.S? And she can get people to publish her own solo book? Without having a name in the industry at all?
How?
She can draw, you can't. Also, your comic book collection most likely dwarfs hers so basically no expensive hobbies. She didn't make any money from her first comic for an entire year iirc.
she cute
Since you anons are recommending "unusual" comics, and to make it easy and quick, what's the closest to LOGH you can get?
Nagata Kabi
2017 My Lesbian Experience With Loneliness v01
2018 My Solo Exchange Diary v01
2019 My Solo Exchange Diary v02
2021 My Alcoholic Escape from Reality
I am confused.
How's she depressed? Has both parents, living a high life (Owns a Switch), first world country, aloof since she walked London at night without the fear of being mugged or raped. Is it because of light autism? Or is it a white woman thing?
Why the frick would you travel to another country just to spend a week with some old single father loser artist?
Why not?
>Is a successful young artist who has been nominated for multiple Eisners and is only in her mid-twenties.
>Is obviously very attractive to the point where even the contrarian anons on this board have to admit it.
>Despite being depressed and a self-proclaimed social moron, she manages to maintain at least one consistent friend.
>Her parents are still alive, she gets along with them well enough, and she has a sibling that she likes
>Isn't a virgin and has had multiple flings in the past, as well as having a boyfriend right at this moment
There's not a single thing I can relate to her about.
I know this is bait, but what do you get out of creating an exaggerated incel cliche?
We all relate to different things in different ways.
I think his answer is valid, even if you disagree with his implied stance.
Can you recommend anything besides Sterte and Jansson?
i mean he's a loser and she's slightly less a loser. it's still a world of difference between them.
Yeah but she's actually believable whereas anon's meme is pretty absurd.
It's not believable that he's unsuccessful, unattractive, has no close friends, doesn't get along with his family and is a virgin? Seems pretty normal.
>very attractive
im starting to think all a woman needs to be is young and not fat to be considered beautiful nowadays
This
She's ugly as sin/mid af
Only virgins think she's cute
>t. Zoe
She's pretty cute. The only ugly thing in her are her ears, which she promptly hides in the comic.
Stop *clap* being *clap* a *clap* virgin *clap*
Why? I don't want to be a bawd.
bawd shaming is not cool, do better
>t. bawd
Just keep it in your pants brother.
Easier said than done.
does it have to be relatable to be interesting?
>auto-bio-graphic-novel by Zoe Thorogood
SO BORING
By the title I was sure it was a Pulpy adventure about an adventurer stuck in a Hollow Earth setting, or navigating across Earth's Nucleos with a ship.
Damn, you sound like a manchild.
Truly dissapointed to see no one discuss the actual contents of the comic. What happened to Cinemaphile
The art is fantastic
Despite being such raw day to day stuff there was clearly some story structure in it (like it was all written at the end of it all not a day to day rereading of some diary or someshit).
I'm curious if she had killed herself near the end when the book was finished if Image would have had the balls to publish it still.
The "relatable" page was pretty great.
Was in a comic bookclub that did this one month, and always thought of that every time someone's review said "relatable".
I don't care for stories about mental health anymore, it's been so diluted and sanitised and anything outside of White Woman Depression is ignored.
Is this worth reading outside of that?
