Elmer is an astonishingly well crafted comic, with beautiful art and a masterfully told story. It captures family dynamics superbly and handles racism and civil rights with a lot of grace. It took a while for me to get comfortable with the chicken protagonists in the book, but the abstraction they create masterfully invites the audience to consider horrific real world events in the way the best speculative fiction can.

@MidniteLibrary @apollo@bookwyrm.social neat! I got a digital version so didn't have the print errors, but good to know both that it got a second printing and that they fixed those. Elmer and Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou are my favourite comics I've read this year so far.
