Amazing!

Sometimes, it takes years to be vindicated. Tommie Smith and the other brave men were called everything but a child of God. But being on the right side of history is timeless. I enjoyed reading Tommie's story and seeing the role Black athletes played in the Civil Rights movement. 

The artwork was also well-chosen and lovely. It did what it visually needed to do! c:

Tommie's story in this format is easy to digest without sugarcoating anything. Please read this!

 There isn’t a lot of content to this book, but I enjoyed seeing Liz’s journey into pursuing art. I related to a lot of her struggles like, not knowing how to pick a major, figuring out whether to go to art school or not, rarely seeing black people in comics, and being a first-gen college student. 

While I wish she would have explored in-depth how the NY Time opportunity went (or maybe it was that instant), I liked this memoir. 

One thing I enjoy about Phoebe and Her Unicorn is that there’s plot progression, character development, and constant callbacks to previous strips. This series is still cute and fun. 

Charming.
