I knew there was no was I was going to enjoy this piece after I finished reading the biography. Right before I made my way into this comic that from the title I inferred would be fairly humorous, I read "Miriam Engelberg died of cancer in October 2006."
Wow.
I was depressed off the bat. But still I made my way through the piece, which was very witty and revealing of Engelberg's innermost thoughts. But with every joke or satire she made about herself having breast cancer, all I could think about was how she's dead now. I kind of wish I hadn't read the biography so I could have had a more open minded and optimistic view going into it. I feel so awful for this poor woman; she really did a great job of combining simple pictures with captions that made the piece quick, easy, and entertaining.
