The pandemic looms large here but is, uncannily, never specifically referenced. Don’t ask me how she managed that — I’m just grateful that she did.

It’s honest, it’s self-deprecating, it’s witty, it’s smart, it’s superbly illustrated, and it’s utterly devoid of pretense. If you were to strip away the layers of bullshit so many cartoonists surround themselves with in their portrayals of their “real” lives, boil down the essence of the things they get right, and filter it through a lens that sees the humor inherent in just about everything, this is what you’d get." ~ Ryan Carey, Four Color Apocalypse 5.5″ x 8.5″, 24 pages Full-color covers and interior https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e3234bd057b6178051dc7e/9b2c509a-acba-48cf-8c22-c0b1f426df70/Party.jpg comics - Malarkey #2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e3234bd057b6178051dc7e/b969ae71-9ad0-4eec-a770-3beceb205788/Octopus.jpg comics - Malarkey #2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e3234bd057b6178051dc7e/fed0b36b-ee8f-41bf-9e67-394715c07a90/Bubbles.jpg comics - Malarkey #2 https://novembergarcia.com/comics/malarkey1 monthly 0.5 2021-07-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e3234bd057b6178051dc7e/1626607582125-I9IZL0G9QZKCXEHOWO1X/Malarkey+1.jpg comics - Malarkey #1 - Malarkey #1 “Garcia has her own unique voice, and that’s not just because she lives in the Philippines.
