The Parakeet, by Espé reminds us of what art is about

Hello friends,

I recently wrote a review over at Graphic Medicine for The Parakeet by Espé. The book was published by graphic mundi and it’s a wonderful, powerful comic book. The book comes with a content advisory, but it is powerfully humanizing.

I like creating reviews for Graphic Medicine, they’re a wonderful community that often inspires me (such as the comic On Beauty, starring Boot)

Art can be pleasure for pleasure’s sake, and that is enough. But on a good day, when the wind is right and the heart is ready, it can be much, much more than that. Comics are a beautiful dance of images and words, comics (and dance and music and art) are at their best when they are both intimate and expand the spaces within us.
