From "Lucky" by Gabrielle Bell

     This was undoubtedly my favorite comic we have read thus far in the class. Bell's ideas flowed smoothly, and the combination of the art and her writing created an enjoyable, quirky, easy to read piece. I easily related to her feelings of imprisonment at her mundane job, because spending extreme amounts of time doing anything that isn't your lifelong passion, such as assembling trinkets, can easily begin to feel like jail. Bell's simple way or writing and illustrating were delightful to read, and contained enough subtly humor and relate able awkwardness to make me really believe everything she said. The way she viewed France is very similar to the I view it, as a sophisticated city where people drink wine and smell flowers all day long. I really loved this piece.
