Who Will Make the Pancakes: Five Stories [Hardcover]

A suite of five brilliant comics stories united by themes of motherhood, family, and love. This versatile comics story collection from Kelso sparkles with wit and wisdom. Megan Kelsos work astounds me with its deep wit at every level: the line and flow of her panels and pages, the deep expressivity and compassion in her human figures and faces, the historical imagination and emotional punch of the tales she chooses to tell.? Kelso uses a warm, inviting style of soft colors and rounded, almost pillowy characters to explore the mysteries of people and relationships... Kelsos stories invite contemplation. Kelso has sharp powers of observation, and many of her characters have a blank-eyed innocence that serves as a counterpunch to the acuity of the narratives.
