Woman World by Aminder Dhaliwal
4.0
funny lighthearted relaxing fast-paced

Oh, this is fun! And funny. I suppose that technically it's science fiction, given that it posits a future where a birth defect has wiped out all men, but really it's a good-natured series of loosely connected short comics about a world made up entirely of women. So much here is very low stakes, which makes it relatable: it's a rainy day, so do we do paperwork or do we curl up by the fire? It's a sunny day, have we remembered sunscreen? The kids have got to put on a historical skit in class - which battle are they doing again, can anyone tell the difference?

My favourite part was the dad joke. I cackled. 

I'd never heard of these comics before I found them randomly in the library's graphic novel section. I understand they started out as an Instagram web series? I'm not on Instagram, so no surprise I didn't see it. I'd quite like a copy of my own though, I think.
